Petro-Novo
Primitive: Art or Graffiti? by Jorge Conesa-Sevilla
is an exciting series of new artwork carved
directly into the ancient rockfaces around Conesa-Sevilla's
home in the Swiss mountains. At between 5-20 cm
depth, he reaches the pink feldspar substrate that
gives definition to the designs.
In
the accompanying article he ponders the legality
of what he is doing and answers the question leveled
at him by his teenage children, "Are you
just creating glorified graffiti?", followed
by details on his technique.

cut
adrift
a poem by Duncan
McGehee
cut
adrift
still at sea,
choppy sea.
gashes in my psyche
the sea pouring in,
membrane breached.
made permeable,
like egg shells by DDT,
for a greater cause?
a
lesson or…a point,
maybe a solution
resolution, dissolution.
whatever - it hurts bad,
cut adrift.
