“I am interested in what I see in paintings as well as what
the paintings see in me. I try, facing works of art, to inhabit
a “between” in which a reciprocal distillation can
occur. I found in certain Mary Heebner watercolors a resonating
psychic stimulation, and attempted to improvise on the words, narrative
nodes and associational “chains” they flushed forth.” -
Eshleman
“A number of my paintings and collages inspired Clayton Eshleman
to write the poems presented in this portfolio. Words conjure images
and sometimes images leap into words.”
- Heebner
