GRAMMAR

Julie Marie Wade

Rose Jackson

GRAMMAR is an original poem written by Julie Marie Wade and interpreted by Rose Jackson.

Rose is an Australian textile and digital artist. She uses traditional wet felting methods to hand make wool felt, from which she creates a range of digital artworks combining those physical felt artworks with animation and GAN. Inspired by her surrounds in the bushland of Blue Mountains, Australia, she makes abstract artworks to explore the connection between the natural world and a digital one.

Grammar

Here, on the Atlantic, sunrise
the reversed syntax of my Seattle youth:

I marvel, still young, at what
it means to have been younger;

to see at last the parent
in parenthesis;

to read—for the first time—
whole chapters of my life

as an aside.
