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

    Delusion

    I close my eyes
    Anticipation builds
    The glass is full
    I take a sip
    Liquid gold warms my throat
    I take a sip
    Memories fill my world
    I take a sip
    My troubles will soon disappear
    I take a sip
    Throat feels dry
    Memories fade
    Troubles appear
    I take a sip
    Back to reality....

    Alone with you
    pump your magic thickly through my veins
    fill my body with your sweet release
    I'll wait for your love
    tomorrow I may forget
    but we are here
    and now
    and I am waiting
    for love

    Little Pleasures
    Date: 1/9/2010
    The walls were closing in rapidly and she was finding it hard to breath without screaming. Finally one of the needle men came through the portal. He checked the straps and once he'd jabbed her he departed from where he had entered. As always the first to change were the colours, fading through the spectrum until they were backwards, then almost imperceptably the walls melted away. The straps slithered off her like snakes dancing with the bubbles of her dreams and the serenity within her soul thundered as she danced away the hours.
