A response to William Scott’s ‘Ochre Still Life’, 1958.

just one of many:

ochre,

ochre-white

red-edged,

shaped

black

brown-ochre

cream

 

I am moving in the

templates of culture

as European,

and resettling as American

in two continents-

a saucepan, as a pepperpot

are starting points,

ending one and the same

as domestic

handled

and shelved.
