Touched By Pixies Poem by Denis Mair

(in response to 'Effects' by Natali Wienstein--- mixed media on canvas 20 x 20cm--- 2025)
... ... ... ... ...
gritty texture like Richter's ruin-scapes,

set tingling by touch of star-loving pixies...

built up by overlay of fine and coarse...

a mingling of particles light and dark...

only dismissive eyes would fix them to a surface;

a lively glance lets them float over the backdrop...

composition by dispersal... itself an ornament

flung outward from vestigial arabesques,

while half hidden-filaments, joined in the mist,

imply principles of growth and unfolding...

either very small in scale or very distant...

depth defined by fireflies of unknown size...

interspersed gleam of unstrung bangles...

happy encounters with something other than dust...

the intent of pearls without claim to preciousness...

an intent with no 'who, ' until you know their story.
