Workshop
Saturday April 11, 11 AM - 1:30 PM
The poem My trembling candle is a selection of visual poems by J.I. (Judy) Kleinberg. The exhibit features framed original collages, about 4.25” x 5.5”, as well as enlargements in several sizes. The work in The poem My trembling candle touches on both the physical and the metaphorical. Doors seem to open on possibility as often as they open into rooms or houses. Light and shadow interplay in mood and spirit. Birds (tap-dancing with cardinals) cavort in an abbreviated syntax that Kleinberg describes as “somewhere between Dada and Twitter, between ransom note and haiku.”
