A Time to Cast Away
"Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.
There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part
and it will not be taken from her"
(Luke 10: 40-42).
Since Christ himself was visiting my house,
I wanted to prepare my greatest dish.
I labored near the stove and tried to douse
the lamb with wine, instead, I drowned the fish.
He might have let me know when he'd drop by,
I whispered as I swept the kitchen clean,
and I let out a pitiable sigh.
Where was my sister Mary in this scene?
I searched, and found her sitting at Christ's feet,
delighted by each story that he'd start.
I asked if she would help me serve the meat,
but Jesus said she'd picked the better part.
and so I joined my sister at his side--
and Jesus took the burned meal quite in stride.
A Time to Love
"Invisible, there's something to be said
for wanting you. I like your phantom arms--
heavy but imperceptible. Instead
of light and vision, I must sense your charms."
Even as she said this, Psyche knew
she always wanted more from Love, like proof.
She adored his touch, and yet it grew
unsettling to worship the aloof.
The nights with him in bed made it all right;
his beard against the softness of her skin,
the press of lips that didn't need the light
to find her. But when Cupid took her in
the darkness, he was trying to be kind...
keeping his god-love from her human mind.

| Alice Mizrachi: Growing up in New York, I have been immersed in a culture that is constantly growing. Throughout my work you can feel the influence the city has had on me, the never-ending desire to grow and flow. One common thread in my work is the texture--rhythm and layers. I love to incorporate tactile surfaces that compel the audience to approach and feel it. Timeless and universal, my images evoke a raw feminine energy that leaves you feeling nurtured. My art is a vehicle to express to the world my journey as a NYC female artist in the past, present and future. I am logging my time here. After completing a residency in Paris during 2010, I am focusing on residencies in other cities with the intention of spreading my art globally. | |
