BODY. EARTH. MOTHER
To the core.
I am tree part of this
roots
planted
soil rich
with nutrient
Let me feel the grace of gnarls,
of your branches
The roughness against my back
I am mountain
craggy
wild
I am a stream
Playful
naïve
I am a bird
In flight
I am a tiger
Running
I will be a part of this body
NO
Not
APART
Within
Through
Breathing living truly
I will celebrate that essence
The ebb
Flow
tide
The gentle meandering of mountain breast
I will revel the sense and breath of life
To be complete in my wholeness
Connected to the infinite pieces
Living in this glorious perfectly organized machine
My limbs which move when I will them
In my age remind me of my journey
In my youth tempt me with promise
Oh mistress mine Earth Body let me recline in your wild bounty
Mother. Body. Earth.
Human Nature.

About the Creator
Philadelphia native Kate E. Deeming has been working across media and art form for fifteen years. An advocate of ‘it’s the message not the media’, her career has spanned from Feature to Performance Film, Community Art to Activism. Within all of her projects she seeks to create connections between people and communities, between ideas and environment. She has been based in Glasgow, Scotland since 2000 and tours internationally with her work. Martine Cotton (born Brisbane, Tokyo based) has lived in Japan since 2002. Equally horrified, amused and fascinated by the bland globalisation and disconnection of a once rich and unique culture, and the odd tweaks the Japanese cultivate in their contemporary, excessively consumer-oriented society, Martine's photography seeks to offer some sense of wonder and solace to the viewer. A place to hide for a moment, away from the frenetic chaos of the biggest city in the world.
