Lili Ward

 My writing for Art Brusels Off Programme show 'Mystery Bag' curated by Johanna Gibbs The Voyeur VS The Tender Witness  Lili Ward I’m training my eyes to sweep more softly from each corner of the scantily lit computer screen. There's a familiar flatness to the liquid crystal of my never returned high school laptop and I've made an acquaintance of the waning light. I am its tender witness. Pawing at 55cN resistant keys, a healthy keyboard will live to see the sunrise of 50 million keystrokes, though only teenaged, my girly, heavy handed ways have rendered these keys drowsy. They will be lucky to sputter into their 20 millionth stroke with much lust.

I am absorbing emblems at an arresting 120 bpm into my mind's eye.
