Caleb Jamel Brown & Faith Icecold
January 13 - February 25, 2023

AIR

Ether morning.
Upstream fish,
oily blue throat,
watchtower.
The window of the space.
Cardinal song,
existence in small piles.

FIRE

In a mirror,
snakes.
Long book
of short stories.
It creeps,
glass,
the hands of God.

WATER

The thing that boils,
silk,
how hair acts.
Baptism in
a cloudless rain.
What the mud leaves.

EARTH

Wooden jazz.
Gingerly, the bottom
of a downward spiral.
Symphony of ceramics.
Nostalgia,
a wall,
pulp,
boulder.
Quilt.
