For our next #Zine issue, I'm proposing a section dedicated to #Ekphrasis.
Ideally, we'll get a #CoSonaut to submit a photo we can use to inspire CoSonaut writing, but for now, here's a weekend prompt to practise:
This is a public domain piece called "The Farm", by Joan Miró. It was made a little over a century ago, 1921-22, to depict homegrown water collection systems for a farm running dry.
#CoSoArt, #WritersOfCoso: If you need a creative prompt this weekend, why not a give this one a spin?
And if anyone would like to submit a photo of theirs for consideration for a CoSo-wide prompt for the #Zine, please do!
Because abZurd is focused on community-building and more hopeful and environmental living, there will be a strong preference given to simple, evocative photos on related themes.
Also, keep in mind that we might need to reproduce your photo in black-and-white, or at best black and one colour (for print), or black and two (for the digital version).
my #cosomarketplace posts are available for this use
It has quite a few B&W works and they are often on the same theme
Plus, I could give my reasons and process on why they were created so other writers would know my intention on that work
As example
B&W from my "Below" series.
Series concept was to create around the idea that once a human descends below the surface, their buoyancy changes to the point that for a brief time, they are capable of flight. As defined by "moving under your own power in a 3 dimensional space."
Another example
4 from my "Shadows & Light...Grayscale" series.
Concept: No matter what king of extreme argument or rhetoric may be thrust upon us, it remains the shades of gray we are in between them, that creates the beauty
And a further example for a #ekphrasis idea
Human sensuality in all its various manifestations
