This series of work ‘China Influence’ has been created in response to my Cultural Exchange to China with the ‘Wild Dogs from Down Under’ in 2007

I felt stimulated by the Patterns and Linear Effects within my Abstract Expressionism - The atmosphere in China was thick and layered and the sun tried to push through.  The people are busy, yet organised and patterns were to be found everywhere…  

I felt the urge to push and expand this aspect of my work.  Currently most of the series is exhibiting at Bradley Hall Fine Art Gallery, 12 Old Telegraph Road West,  Drouin West (studio of artist Gary Miles) and a couple of pieces are on their way to the Guangzhou International Art Fair in December 2008!

Bradley Hall Fine Art Gallery is open Weekends and Public Holidays between 11am - 5pm or by appointment.  Ph: 03 5626 8355

 I FELL IN LOVE WITH A BLACK OCEAN DEEP

The sun strikes hard but never reaches your depths,

It leaves me still feeling cold.

And I must of known you for a million years,

I fell in love with your reflection gold.

It’s been you and me for a very long time,

One and one, never needing a crew.

You are my friend and you are my love,

I fell in love with your waters so blue.

I’ve devoted my time and devoted my life,

All your secrets I have seen.

My eyes have stared deep into your soul,

And I fell in love with your soul so green.

I watch in awe as the sun sinks down,

And I glimpse the top of his burning head.

I helplessly watch his flailing arms of gold,

Drown in your love so red.

Sometimes my eyes cannot see through the mist,

But I can still feel your movement and sway.

When the rain falls down and the mist rises up,

I fall in love with your sight so grey.

You’ve made me feel young, yet grow very old,

Through your current my life seemed to seep.

I’ve given you my life and I will give you my death,

For I fell in love with you - my black ocean deep.

by Kerrie Warren

SUDDENLY THE WORLD IS SILENT

I’m soaring on a cloud….

Speeding through the sky….

The force behind me is extraordinary….

Causing my soul to fly….

Below me, from where I’ve come,

Underneath the cloud of doom.

Is where the mourning, the weeping and the dying lay,

All vulnerable to the hell that looms.

I can still hear the gunfire, it continues,

Never stopping day or night.

I can still hear the people crying,

Children screaming in their fright.

Although the animals bolt in panic,

And the trees no longer stand.

The bombs still keep on dropping,

And war goes on as planned.

The people die in thousands,

There is nowhere left to hide.

The stench of death is everywhere,

Over lands and oceans wide.

Suddenly, the world is silent,

There are only two people left to fight.

And both leaders that argued a short while back,

Are now in the midst of an ugly sight.

Each stared mutely at the other,

Surrounded by the dying and the dead.

Neither would accept responsibility,

The both committed suicide instead.

by Kerrie Warren

IN THIS MOMENT

What will I do in this moment?

Is there any way I can ease the pain?

I could turn to the bottle and numb all my thoughts,

Drown the memories in my brain.

What will I do in this moment?

Should I curse and rant and rave?

I could drive my fists deep into the wall,

Dive into the angry wave.

What will I do in this moment?

If I run fast and far away,

Could I possibly outrun this moment?

Or would it chase me all the way?

What will I do in this moment?

Will your ears listen to my pain?

Will your shoulders soak up all my tears?

Will your understanding keep me sane?

What will I do in this moment?

Should I take myself out to sea?

I could jump deep into the salty water,

Do you think that death would set me free?

What can I do in this moment?

To delete it, to block it out?

How can I wipe it from all existence?

And leave no trace of doubt?

What can I do in this moment?

To ease this emotional rage,

Will it die and become past history,

As I write it down upon this page?

What will I do in this moment?

How must I lay it to rest?

How can I survive in this moment,

Just long enough to get to the next?

by Kerrie Warren

WILL GOD EVER FORGIVE US?

The pain stretches further than my eyes can see,

More tears than they can hold.

The scenery - a battlefield,

The sun shines but the Earth stays cold.

Will God ever forgive us?

What have we done to his precious children?

Where were our minds, where were our hearts?

When we tortured, maimed and killed them?

What must God think of our graphical art?

Of Earth, now painted with colours so grim?

How must He feel when all He can see,

Are the bloody bodies sprawled beneath Him?

One over here, one over there,

And a billion in between.

Nothing moves but an orphaned child,

Wandering in a dream.

My feet squelch on clotting blood,

I’m covered in guts and grime.

I keep on walking but there’s never an end,

To the expressions lost in time.

My eardrums pound to the unbearable sound,

Even louder than the violence.

I cover my ears with blood stained hands,

But I can’t keep out the silence.

In agony and in pain I crawl,

Through the ever growing mist.

And my heart is tearing dear Lord above,

In knowing ‘I’ still exist.

by Kerrie Warren

CAN YOU SEE ME?

Can you see me? Here I am,

My soul completely bared.

My strength has thrown me to the floor,

And left me feeling scared.

Please turn off the light, or close your eyes,

Even better - turn away.

Let me lie here with nerves exposed,

I can’t explain, I cannot say.

I can’t relieve your frightened look,

Nor reply to your kind words.

I cannot see the silver lining,

And no longer hear the birds.

I strain my ears to hear any sound,

Over the pounding of my heart.

Which beats away, deep inside,

Tearing me apart.

I rage inside like a wounded bull,

Trapped within this being.

Trapped within this paralyzed body,

That has lost all sense of feeling.

Can you see me? Here I am,

Turn away and lock the door.

Leave me be in my naked state,

Alone here on the floor.

Can you see me? There I go,

The raging bull was just set free.

Can you see me, where I am?

Here I am - Oh can’t you see?

by Kerrie Warren

MY VALENTINE

If the world’s a stage,

Will you play Romeo?

Can I play Juliet?

In fixed motion,

Forever entwined,

Passion as hot as a red sunset.

I breathe you in,

I breathe you deep,

And chills run up my spine.

I smell your body,

I eat your flesh,

Drink your blood as sweet as wine.

The tide rolls in,

The tide rolls out,

The stars will always shine.

My blood will boil,

My heart will melt,

With eternal love,

My Valentine.

by Kerrie Warren

ON THE ROCKS BELOW

Moonlight shines through a sinking heart,

Revealing all that was torn apart.

In the spotlight lay vulnerable every part,

In the gentle glow almost a piece of art.

Suddenly unable to see, hear or speak,

The false strength it once clung to now leaves it weak.

All alone in a world unreal,

A throbbing mess that can only feel.

Pounding irregularly, loosing all will,

Only yesterday determined to climb life’s hill.                

Laughing selfishly, almost reaching the top,

Falling over itself as it made the drop.

Now looking back on what it had seen and ignored,

After falling and landing on its own blood stained sword.

Never before caring or wanting to know,

Now all alone on the rocks below.

So very alone on the sharp rocks below.

by Kerrie Warren

SWALLOWED BY A CLOUD

Just leave me in my shadowed corner,

Please leave me here to die.

I’ll scream if you reach to touch me,

Or with pity begin to cry.

I can no longer control my strickened body,

Beads of sweat drop to the floor.

My arms encircle my shaking legs,

My eyes feel dry and raw.

You’re slowly backing away from me,

You’re merging into the wall.

I didn’t mean for you to disappear,

And leave me alone to fall.

A cloud is beginning to swallow me up,

I haven’t the strength to fight.

I will let my soul slowly disintegrate,
