Beautiful Dark
Patricia Katchur artworks
Joni Wallace poetry
Beautiful Dark began in the spirit of Andre Breton's cadavre exquis or exquisite corpse, It is a conversation between artists, between media, between the corporeal and non-corporeal, the lit
and the umbral. Image informed text, text informed image through pattern, texture, sound, and
poetic associations. As we worked, subject matter revealed itself - ghostings of voices,
silhouettes, landscapes, crepuscular creatures. The accumulation of these here is intended as
a kind of architecture, one of murmuration and noir, one where a body wishes to to be held.
noir (n): 1. a form of neorealism in which the subject matter is represented through the lens of any number of nightjars; 2. (v) the representation of one or more silhouettes in crepuscular light; 3. (v) to flash light an object; to ground or foreground.
murmuration: 1. (n) the sound made by turbulent blood around or inside the heart; 2. (n) an accumulation of low voices, usually those of strangers, overheard in a public space. 3. (n) choreographed flight of moths or starlings, usually occurring at twilight or dusk.
