Poetry Original Beeswax Collage In the Transbay Tube Train Subway Nostalgic Vintage Look Original, One of a Kind Recycle Art Poetry Art Beeswax Collage by Ren Adams (that's me!) 5 1/2" x 6" Media: Natural Michigan Beeswax, paper ephemera, original poetry, upcycled fruit bar box, wax pigments. I layered the materials in this vintage-look collage as organically as possible. The poem reads: In the Transbay Tube In that tight-breath body-heat way they sit in silence as the train's rumbling innards tremble to a whisper. They're stopped under the bay and Macarthur is the transfer point and there's not enough time to catch the 70 anymore and a row of gleaming yellow taxis with bored drivers sit along the crumbling asphalt at the edge of someone's thoughts. Funny how strangers don't talk to strangers and how warm a friend's essence is next to you. He'll be going back to Hong Kong soon. I will miss him. I will never be able to duplicate this handmade collage, so this is one of a kind! For this piece I also recycled a bound-for-the-landfill lime Dreyer's Fruit Bars box, as the canvas. The Collage is nicely sealed with a matte finish, non-toxic, archival quality varnish to protect the wax bits. My poem, "In the Transbay Tube" also appears in Tokens: An Anthology of Subway Poetry by P&Q Press. Size: 5 1/2" x 6" Signed and dated on the back.
