wAlls In dAlI, by Suzette Richards (18/10/2024)
A re-imagined collage of the paintings Mad Tristan and Nostalgic Echo, by Salvador Dali. The original art works are copyrighted.
A notional ekphrasis in Suzette Prime.
The title is a pun on AI as the image was AI-generated.
Psychology was originally a subset of philosophy—gaining recognition in its own right by the efforts of Sigmund Freud.
A number of specific techniques were devised by the Surrealists to evoke psychic responses. Among these were frottage (rubbing with graphite over wood or other grained substances) and grattage (scraping the canvas)—both developed by Ernst to produce partial images, which were to be completed in the mind of the viewer.
the origin of my life
a frottage
friction
giving rise to the template
the grattage image to be completed in the mind of the viewer
women
are often invisible
at best
compartmentalised by Man
a notional ekphrasis
but they make their presence known
they’re a work of art crowding in on the subconscious
labyrinth of walls built by mankind over eons
to keep out that which they fear
colouring the walls yellow
it is a Freudian slip
by that subliminally acknowledging
that it is
mentally activating
psychologically stimulating higher cognition, intuition
creativity
and feelings of optimism
all attributes of Woman
having escaped confines of cultural mores
I do not go with the flow
but will often lead the pack
