  • Hockney’s Eye

    A new book published today celebrates artist David Hockney’s unique eye and experimentation with the technology and techniques of painting. Its publication coincides with a major exhibition in Cambridge at the Fitzwilliam Museum. Hockney’s Eye: The Art and Technology of Depiction I had the great privilege of co-authoring a chapter in the book with Editor, Martin Kemp. Our chapter explores the ordering of nature, both arboreal and optical, in Meindert Hobbema’s masterpiece, Avenue at Middelharnis, painted in 1689. The famous painting was much admired by Hockney as a young artist, and more recently, he has undertaken two bold interpretations of the Dutch master’s iconic scene. The second of these is entitled After Hobbema (Useful Knowledge, 2017). The ‘knowledge’ in Hockey’s eye involves the seeing and representation of space according to mechanisms of perception. The exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum is open until 29th August. Read more Hockney’s Eye: The Art and Technology of Depiction. (2022). ISBN: 9781913645120 The book is available on Amazon, Bookshop.org, and all good bookshops.

I Know a River ~ dedicated to a special friend #po I Know a River ~ dedicated to a special friend #poem #friendship
I know a river, a beautiful river
Nurturing life under every rock
Sustaining others as she flows
To carry deeds and wonders
For the ocean deep

I know a river, a beautiful river
Who rose from the drop of a sphagnum frond
Growing to a glitter over mica and quartz
To play with rowan root and dance the fin-dango
For the needy ocean deep

I know not the river, the beautiful river
Who was wickedly restrained
Crowded by darkness, boiled by boulders
Held back from her destiny
In cruel ignorance of the ocean deep

I know only the river I see
Her waters sweet from chestnut dew
Whose serenity carries us onward
And hides the struggle underneath
For the needs of the ocean deep

I know the river glittering bright
Who savours the sea under rising moon
Beckoning her waves, swirling yin and yang
To help bury her waters past
As she heads to the ocean deep

I know a beautiful river; she’s a friend of mine
Through the eye of a needle, under towering crags
She flows unstoppable
Weaving a fabric of life and love
Til she reaches the ocean deep

The moon glade, gathering
My stealthy shadow, lighting

Flashing in amber glow, a warning
Its crepuscular namesake, hiding
Cryptically beneath the holly, stirring
Its wings a blur, zig-zagging
On the waning of the Woodcock Moon.  #poetry #nature
