Genesis of a Sculpture by Brian Clark
Genesis
of a Sculpture
Etched with sagas from some cataclysmic age
when grains of sand re-formed and turned to stone
whose hieroglyphs hide core secrets
of a mountain’s power entombed
and made ready for an after-life.
Kiss, kiss, kiss awake this rock
with each tap of your chisel unwrap,
take away to reveal
that which was always there.
Brian Clark
This poem was inspired by Swiss artist Sybille Pasche’s ‘Genesis’ displayed at Yorkshire Sculpture Park and was written at the STONE project writing workshop there in April 2010.
