This involves sifting wood ash on my table surface and scribbling through it then pressing\/rolling the cups into the words on the table. I work from a specific text, a poem that I have recently read or one written by my mother and found in my archive of her words. The process feels like a mix of a meditation on a poem and a form of time travel that allows me to visit the mind of my mother. Whether it&#8217;s a poem about walking in Greenwich Village on a Sunday or her worries about what her children would do with her collection of books, when I get going with the transcription it&#8217;s as if the words come so fast I cannot stop for spelling; sometimes the words come out as squiggles or straight lines or like the bitter sweet vines that tangle with the milkweed. The more I dig in my mother&#8217;s work and play with asemic text I think the line between poems and drawing is very thin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WAF7452-1024x955.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WAF7452-1024x955.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WAF7452-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WAF7452-768x717.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WAF7452-1536x1433.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WAF7452-1200x1120.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.catherinewhite.com\/roughideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WAF7452.jpg 1715w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m working as fast as I can I can&#8217;t stop to use periods \/ sometimes I draw straight lines on the page because the words are too slow.&#8221;<br><br>-C.
