The Water-Carrier

 


This is the second in a series of collaborative posts highlighting the relationship between poetry and painting.

We may now begin to ask ourselves the fundamental question: What arises when we read poetry?  What arises when we look at a painting?  I hope this post will lead you further on the way to understanding that.

 The excerpts were taken from the book The Uninitiated (link in bio) and the original artwork was composed by @indrebeinarte on the theme of the selected poem.

Please see Indre's bio at the end of the post to learn more about her work.

**Monochrome ink painting is the basis of Indre's artistic expression.  It allows her to capture the essence of an object, leaving aside unnecessary details, finding depth in simplicity, in emptiness, and in unfilled space.  In her work, she strives to embody the principles of East Asian aesthetics, which are manifested in her works through minimalist compositions, subtlety, and calligraphic strokes.**
