Welcome to Art/TEXT

a collaborative exhibition space for students at Canberra Institute of Technology.

Art/TEXT was first established in 2009 when Creative Writing teacher Lorese Vera met with Art teachers Bernie Slater, Paul Murray, Silvia Velez and others, to form a collaboration between art and writing students. Images were exchanged for text and responded to and vice-a-versa and two very well received 'on the wall' exhibitions were held at the CIT Reid Campus during 2009.

For 2010, students will visit the blog and post text or images to be responded to as a part of their assessment tasks as an 'online exhibition'.It is hoped that the blog will take on a life of its own and text and images will be exchanged beyond the assessment tasks and will generate further collaborations and exhibitions.

She melted like wax
though alabaster, cast of ivory
reduced to cream one autumn night
a bolt of silk unfurled across the floor
porcelain dripping to milk
waiting for the cat to come lap her up

    Seedling Hope

    Sun shines
    earth dries
    tap drips
    garden grows

    Recipe for Living

    A cup of sunshine, spoonful of water
    add a pinch of dirt
    all that is needed
    for growth of the earth
    How simple it is
    our life’s resources
    and yet we waste
    our precious waters

    Survival in a foreign land

    Increasing temperatures create a mirage of pulsating air.
    Against this barren landscape of sun, sky and sandy soil
    the flowers stand out like foreigners inappropriately dressed for the terrain.
    With their shallow roots in the nutrient deficient soil
    the flowers capture each precious drop of water from the leaky tap.
    Next to this tap, their only other ally is the weathered sandstone wall
    that provides some shelter from the sun as it rotates from east to west.
    Like a conquering victor that obliterates its opposition, the sun has banished all rain clouds.
    Survival now is dependent on the generosity of the dripping tap.
    Without it, the flowers are doomed.

    Warm me, distant star
    Your light fills me
    Let me infuse myself with you
    Hydrate me, tap water
    Drench me with your clear contents
    Grow, live, prosper.
