An original oil painting by Sandra Jane, created with professional-quality oil paints on stretched canvas.
Medium: Oil on canvas Year: 2013 Dimensions: 51 × 51 cm (unframed)
A tribute to poet Anne Sexton. Inspired by her poem For The Year Of The Insane. Text includes...
O Mary, fragile mother, hear me, hear me now although I do not know your words. The black rosary with its silver Christ lies unblessed in my hand for I am the unbeliever. Each bead is round and hard between my fingers, a small black angel. O Mary, permit me this grace, this crossing over, although I am ugly, submerged in my own past and my own madness. Although there are chairs I lie on the floor. Only my hands are alive, touching beads. Word for word, I stumble. A beginner, I feel your mouth touch mine.
