by Robert Carr (Author), Kurt Reynolds (Artist)
Through the poems of Robert Carr and the assemblages of Kurt Reynolds, The Materials explores personal history through language and artifact. Responding to Reynolds's constructed worlds, Carr's poems enter and expand them, allowing a surprising, yet archetypal, family history to emerge: a father whose hands know rope better than tenderness, a mother stitching baptismal gowns, children whispering into darkened rooms.
In the surreal journey of The Materials, that history fractures-children are lost to imagined deaths, mothers return as hauntings, ships tip out of their frames and into water. What begins as artifact becomes elegy.
A collaboration in which visual art initiates and poetry transforms, The Materials gives voice to what the objects alone cannot hold.
