About the Item
Artist Comments
Recently, Sumner has been exploring the use of text in her paintings, adding poetry to accompany the message of the artwork. "This piece is about the loss we feel when thinking of times we can never return to - fond memories of people, places and spaces in time that life has pushed us away from," she says. In this painting, Sumner included the following original poem: The wind wafts away my memories As it waltzes through my hair Oh how I wish I could tell it "By my ears, just leave them there" "I may be a crumbling colossus" I say "Ozymandias beyond disrepair But my memories are not your dust to breeze away So by my ears, to whistle to my soul once more By my ears, please just leave them there"
About the Artist
