Here, artists picture swimmers, capture moonlit lakes, re-create a shimmering pool, map unknown watercourses, or depict mythic tales associated with oceans or rivers. These works are balanced by others that allude to or characterize water like bridges, boats, borders, depth, fluidity, motion, purification, reflection, source, and its alterable state. Unceasing movement, dreams, the unconscious, mirrored surfaces, among other aspects, play a role in these artists’ works. (210) 227-8400

In traditional ekphrastic poetry, a work of art is closely studied by the writer. The writer then considers the work carefully, absorbing any sense of mood, emotion, or intellectual vibe they may perceive, ultimately expressing those feelings in poetic terms. Cody Vance intends to create a visual ekphrastic exercise by taking a step back from his own sculptural work and observing pieces he’s spent dozens of hours working on, then paint in response to whatever comes forward. 2102077211
