Female Forms in Trees

~ natasha devalia

After 2 months of “artist’s block” something is moving in me again. Finally. Something worth exploring through words, visual art and movement.

The trees that line my street have morphed into aging female forms: graceful, beautiful, full of story lines.

The cawing crows of Karachi

deep purple black, butterfly pea tea

yellow flowers, short green grass.

Shahzia Sikander of Lahore

great women artists;

her voice in my headphones.

Aging female forms in trees.
