What's expected

I will post each month about a featured piece of Dodson art. We hope that others may also feel inspired to blog about the piece in the comments. Productive comments about the writing are also welcomed. (To leave a comment, click on comments and a separate window will pop up.)

If you have seen our collaborative work on exhibit please feel free to leave your comments here, as well. In addition, add a link to your blogsite if you write about one or more of them and also to your website (especially if you'd like me to write about it in the comments).

Giraffe Goddess

22" polychrome & laminate wood, 2002

I am the Masked Goddess.

In the image of the Giraffe I make my influence known.

The giraffe speaks in a quiet voice so listen carefully for mine;

it may come out of your ears,

not into them.

Are you ready?

We will walk together.

I move quickly.

Are you fearful? Don’t be a statue. Don’t turn around.

Fear makes foolishness.

The lion’s always in the grass but it is wary of my smarting hooves.

Where are we going?

Wherever you say.

I listen with anticipation.
