Artist's Statement by Tantra Bensko

Click on each image for a larger view. The pictures are my nectar, my juice of a golden glow. Drink them. Parts of how many people are being put into compartments? How can they get out of the those sequesterings, find all the parts of themselves and flow them together again? Ooohhh. And how do they feel about those who put them into those parts, all separated from themselves? How do those feel who are their protectors? Can we be our own protectors? Must we do battle after all? Ah, the beauties of the sexual charge that lights us up like music played upon a zither by a gypsy! How our memories collage together their power! Ah, the love we find behind meshes and serapes of the afternoon. Skittish as she is, enticing as she is, not always aware of her machinations in other realms... The dreams, the dreams are put on the walls to watch in their netting, nightly. Ah, the curiosity of both of us, the revealing, the deliciousness of the rose of love for a heart.       What is a true way our memories collage our mind together. How does it look for you? Can we just look at the the structures of the moment and fade into them, let them take us through the gaps where nothing is held together, and fly beyond it into being. Being. BEING.       What poetry we are, with gaps between the poems, poems that can be shuffled in any order. And sometimes you find an order that sends juice through you like oranges lit by poetry made of sunlight and the intensities of being who you are and the intensities of being who you aren't. We are superheroes when we come out of that mesh portal, we have to be, to fend off the forces that try to bring us all down into smaller parts of ourselves. If we can find the strength, and believe me, they don't want us to, we can frighten them away, daily. We can be sultry if we want. Because we know the truth.
