Waves lap, clairvoyant muses loosed upon with hatched resonance swing into the ether.

Swans gathering, apocalyptic dreams, deeper now hear the tide. Remember you are half water.¹

She, swimming among pearls and old bones², praying to reverent curves. Utopian refuge and secret conduits flood the invisible. Femme fatale fill my tilting horizon, your painted observations hold true.

Hypnotic rhythm, migratory birds shifting in the deep, a well, and oceans traversing, the landscape pulls. The velocity of my stars gather, escaping the core of that black hole, a daughter’s hope and recognition, only existence.

Eden slips, she tethers, angels provoke, wave jumper³ murmurs a slow refrain. Longing for holy water⁴, revolution come, future hither. My analemma looks for your moon, while Sirens shimmer in that mirage waxing with hope.

Internal voices lapping still, to the place in her, I, she, we, is it real or imagined?

Anat Ebgi is pleased to announce Being Like Water, an immersive site-specific installation featuring Jen DeNike and Katherine Bradford at AE2. The exhibition includes DeNike’s new film Queen of Narwhals with four new paintings by Bradford. This collaborative installation grew out of a dialog between the artists and their mutual interest in the universal and psychological quality of water as a prevalent element in both their work.
