Across the Mind

Across the Mind

by nikebottalico

People walk by
Strangers with strange things happening.
I see
colors out the windows, apparitions float by.
I see
children, who are they?
I hear
Steady low music plays a tune
that is scrabbled about in my brain cells.
Hurry
Get the slide, look at it from the microscope.
I see
fibrous tissues cells, red and pinks
I hear
Shadow talk, what happens to the brain cells when they die.
O my
Do you run away, do you stay?
Where is my top hat?
I have lost it or is there a top hat?
I am afraid
Forgetting, knowing you are forgetting.
Do you go before you are gone?
The shadows press against my forehead.
I am afraid.
I am afraid
Of the Fade

Dark Angel

Dark Angel

by nikebottalico

 

She crosses the lines

And thin boundaries

In the effort to disguise

The spirited dust

Behind her eyes

That so blinded

Just for a time, held

An embrace of

the darkening sky

Held deep,

no definition of clouds

Clear air blows in the

Feelings, stirring up

She breathes deeply

Sucking the air right out

of your chest

when she

looks at you,

choking, the corruption

Of the tissues

the self

Controversy and Art….

Controversy and Art….

by nikebottalico ♥ 2 Comments

What makes you tick when you work… I have been listening to a lot of music of late… I know when I stir feelings, I will have a surge of electricity I need to create something deep.  I ask again, what makes you tick before you write, make art, use a flame of a torch to melt metal?

What pushes you forward, what feelings will strip you to your core to create your art, love, hate, controversy…WHAT?  What pushed major artists, hopelessness, hurt, I try to feel deeply what the human condition is, even the ugly, to feel the feelings and allow them to pass through my being, push them though, then the magic happens.

Work in Progress…. just a peek into what is happening

 

Those that know me and have known me, know that I pretty much am an empath… I love crystals, rocks, painting, collage art, music and poetry.  I have been known to write a little myself.  I am a creature who loves, and loves deeply.

I have heartaches, losses and regret, but most of all I have hope for the human condition.

I hope most of all.

 

Coming soon to my Etsy Site  will be some small art projects.  I do hope you will join me there.

 

with Love

and most of all Hope

Screaming – Poem

Screaming – Poem

by nikebottalico

Emotions come crawling,

storming,

slithering up the side of her head

No mooring

Mercury in retrograde

Sliding backwards

Falling, falling

The oak leaves were red

and grand, yet the

Survivors breath misting

Trailing with the apologies

came only from a frozen mouth

 

The year of 2016, May 12.

All Souls Day

All Souls Day

Frida-metal-flowers-red-case-7

I am working on some Art Boxes for the Winter Holidays.   I just happened to start working on them near Halloween, Day of the dead, Día de Muertos and All souls day… do you practice or celebrate one or all of them?  I am an Anglican / Episcopalian by belief but also believe many things as I age.

All Souls Day Anglicans view All Souls’ Day as an extension of the observance of All Saints’ Day and it serves to “remember those who have died”, in connection with the theological doctrines of the resurrection of the body and the Communion of Saints.[7][8 (Wiki)

Frida-metal-flowers-red-case-2

My box is a collection of things I love, I love Frida and what she represented to other women and how she told her own truth.  She lived her own truth too, politically, as an artist, as a lover, as a person who lived in severe pain throughout her life.  I honor her life.

Today, as I make art I celebrate all the lives that came before me…

I thought it was just Fall — you know Autumn… Halloween is tomorrow!  Now I am hearing that we need to have all holiday items in our web-based  shops… eek!  Oh my goodness.  I have maybe two items made up!  I will need to get busy on this.  How are you doing, do you have Holiday items made up?

 

This is one —IMG_1727Christmas_Box_2

 

I need new and better photos!  Yikes and I need to build some new items for the Holiday Season!  I put together some new boxes and will be working on them starting today!
