close you eyes for this open your hands tell me what you feel forget texture or shape tell me how it feels like an unforgettable held hand the softness of a fleeting kiss here in this space is captured creativity for sale to feel be immersed in to own like the energy from any sculpture or painting but paint canvas material free housed anywhere for a cost there's nothing to doubt other than your own gut what do your instincts say? or yours? too slow we have a buyer it's now off the market for no cost at all you have the emptiness I tried to tell you and there is the new owner full to the brim and beaming with pride

I love how youv written such an inviting poem for this artwork! I honestly dont know how you always come up with such ideas just simply by looking at an artwork! Its a gift and one that you should keep sharing with us all readers! I love especially the lines “ we have a buyer it's now off the market for no cost at all you have the emptiness” what a clever ending! Pleasure reading your poem! Thank you for sharing

Ahh you are so sweet to check out the link :) I spend quite a while looking through different art until something appeals to me. This concept was fun, it felt palpable the idea that nothing was indeed something! What is art anyway and why is the artist important when it's possible to duplicate? It feels to me like the artist adds more. Can they add their element without even making something tangible though? Ha, I think I'd have to go and view it to find out :)

A very moving poem, enters through the senses and then seems to vapourise into a kind of in between state of mind.....grasping at emptiness. Nicely done...

Thanks Paul, there is immense power in the intangible, makes no sense in some ways. I appreciate your comment as always

Strike while the iron is hot, as is said. A poem about a sculpture is different. I like how the emphasis is in feel. Too bad he/she didn't buy it. Maybe next time.

It struck me as interesting that a feeling of emptiness could result in failing to purchase nothing but a concept and a feeling of elation result from agreeing to purchase it. The confidence must have been intense if nothing else

At first glance the invisible sculpture looks like a gimmick, but then I read your interpretation and see beyond that empty plinth, no two people ever truly see the same thing, but when it’s nothing perhaps they do, would I buy it nah! I’d keep thinking it has already been stolen lol! You really do tackle what perhaps nobody else sees, cheers David

It did actually sell - crazy in some ways but actually quite often with art we'd buy the sensation that owning it gives us and we certainly feel empty if miss out on the emperor's wonderful new clothes if everyone is raving about it.
