FLAME TREE
FLAME TREE
One of a kind - Limited Edition of 50
From the first epigraph by Judith Wright, Teresa Bell channels her desire to live like the flame tree, wild and wearing of her passion. From the individually painted covers to the hand sewn signatures and recycled paper this free spirited work of poetry and art moves between passionate cries for possession and freedom.
The work is an erotically charged journey from it's first section, titled 'The Burning' where the poet seems to come to life in a drought ridden Australian landscape, she moves through into a middle centrefold section of erotic poetry simply titled 'Blue' to the final section where the poet finds peace and awareness in a series of poems titled 'Brick Veneer'.
The poems are charged with heat, wit and hard won wisdom.
First Edition: 60 recycled pages, hand sewn, each cover unique. hand painted acrylic on paper, numbered 1-50
