Pine
I want to know in days leftover
how am I always out of water
when it never goes anywhere
that I can see
the wondering, painted panes
thatched tan backs bend
over like a chain
pausing
muted shadow, a door
crossed wooden fields
the soft splintering
close in its safe
slow way
strained blinds pulling
above opened windows
the glass of water
on the dusty ledge
removed
the outside
leaves and enters
enters and leaves
in a constant finding
a way through fullness

sophiajacob is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Caitlin Cunningham. Keeping with recurrent themes in the artist’s work, this project parodies misogyny in modern art and its relationship to perpetually consumed depictions of idyllic landscapes and escape-fantasies. Caitlin’s exhibition grows from an inquiry into the mythology of Paul Gauguin and the venerable choke-hold of tourism in the area known as Tahiti (French Polynesia).
My process involves reading, writing, making objects inspired by the master, using the paint colors he did according to Eyewitness books, and assembling relevant ephemera into illogical but possibly related narratives. ~ CC

Do Not Desire Me, Imagine Me
by Mary Szybist
As Corpse Loosened, bare, profusely female,
the pulse in my thigh
unthreaded—
As Hair Clear of furies, of flowers,
the shade of dry paste
As Skull Fissured:
an unlit chandelier
As Dirt The ants sift through
and soften
And with no fingertips, imagine
As Dust You can hang the air on me
