Supinely Sublimely

During the last fifteen years Marion Michell made art in slow-motion and often in the supine. Creativity in the homestead (due to M.E. and P.O.T.S. an all-out effort) ground to a halt when worsening health leaked function from clever hands. iPad on belly she started a miniature blog and made an art from writing. Her textlings are carefully crafted and tightly focused chronicles. Piercing and full of gusto, they give glimpses of a life (and many others) bent out of shape by a debilitating and little understood disease. Most importantly though, language is turned into adventure. Minute-work when energy allows - Michell's prose is lucid, luminous, and entertains, enthralls.
