All art is manipulated.\u00a0 Each and every time.\u00a0 Happy accidents abound.\u00a0 Let me introduce you to Phyllis Bonner\u2019s photography.\u00a0 Two images — one straight-forward and lovely —<\/p>\n

\"Bonner's<\/a><\/p>\n

and below that photo manipulated by a software program.\u00a0 WOW! You have 4 weeks left to see Phyllis\u2019s show, \u201cMother Nature in Photos!\u201d at AWE Gallery (678 Portola Drive, SF — next to the Purple church).<\/p>\n

\"photo-10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let me put your mind to rest.\u00a0 Phyllis\u2019s art is for sale!\u00a0 And while you\u2019re marveling at her work make sure you spend time seeing the ongoing exhibit of the 6 women AWE Collective artists:\u00a0 Stacy Boorn, Susan Black, Kit Kennedy, Chris Kibre, Alice Steele, and Janet Stock.\u00a0 A Women\u2019s Eye\u00a0 — fine art @ affordable prices.<\/p>\n

You ask, how is a poem manipulated?\u00a0 Through editing.\u00a0 To me editing is nothing more (or less) than simple math — addition & subtraction.\u00a0 For several years my practice included writing one phrase\/or line a day.\u00a0 Twice a month I review those lines & combine and submit to an online poetry group of which I’m a member. \u00a0Here are the lines I selected:<\/p>\n

5\/8\/13 \u00a0 was flesh exchanged?
\n5\/11\/13\u00a0 which words will stick today?
\n5\/16\/13 of all things the hand can hold
\n5\/24\/13\u00a0 & then then there were 2 women, 3 hats, several scarves<\/p>\n

Now, the edited poem:<\/p>\n

OF ALL THINGS THE HAND CAN HOLD<\/p>\n

which words will stick today?<\/p>\n

suddenly
\nwithout
\nprovocation
\nthere
\nwere
\n2
\nwomen
\n3
\nhats
\nseveral
\nscarves<\/p>\n

was flesh exchanged?<\/p>\n

Who said poetry isn’t fun. \u00a0Do the math!<\/p>\n
