“Inside Out”
Acrylic with Hand and Machine Embroidery on Fabric”
24” x 20”
2014
Poem by Kerri Shadid
The task of always facing the world with one’s
meticulously-composed-image-side-out
is exhausting and unnatural.
Turning inside-out is infinitely preferable.
For one, it airs out the soul, which tends to grow
Stale when carefully sealed. And if we all
Walked around with our frayed edges showing,
Societal disappointment would undoubtedly slow.
For we always compare our reverse side to
the front side of others, leading us to assume
We are less well-put-together than the
Other well-turned-out models.

“Loose Ends”
Acrylic with Hand and Machine Embroidery on Fabric”
24” x 20”
2014
Poem by Kerri Shadid
Adam and Eve rock-paper-scissored for who
Got to be more free and Adam won.
Men hold their wildness like a trophy and
Wear their loose ends like a shield.
Women have neatly tied off each thread
For generations, but that doesn’t mean
She wouldn’t rather cut the knots that bind
Wouldn’t rather walk into the forest with him,
For she is no more a domesticated
Creature than he.
Run with him, drink outside like an elixir—
Then come home together
When the cold wind whispers that the
Time for roaming is done.

“Stretched Too Thin”
Acrylic with Hand and Machine Embroidery on Fabric”
24” x 20”
2014
Poem by Kerri Shadid
I read that men have never had
To learn the art of relationships,
For women rush in to fill the void of
Silence and dropped responsibilities.
That is her role, to stretch out thin—
Keep one hand holding her son and a pan,
While the other reaches out to her
Distant man.
But playing these parts breaks both
Her and him apart. Intimacy requires
Two-person assembly.
Stitching together a life-long partnership
Is a job that should be open to all,
Regardless of gender or raising or conditioning—
All lose when the strings of love are not strong.
