Giraffe Got a Nubian Princess
Aubrey Harding: Artist Statement
My art is inspired by world mythology and everyday beauty.
Beauty might be shadows over blades of grass or 40 inch hips swaying down a
street in the Bronx .
While only one of those images might be tantalizing, it helps my imagination to
see them in the same light. Myths are fabrics of history, stories that
show a culture’s beliefs, traditions, desires, relationship with the animal and
rapport with the universe. The female form has been clichéd, degraded and
exalted, sexually objectified, while being the most celebrated subject of art. But
what’s got more mystique or charm? These watercolors are purely playful,
intuitive works.

Your Imagination
Darius Harding: Lyrics
If you let me
Run away so
So far that I go
back to the wild
Like that giraffe
Serengeti
Pull your locks, would you
Would you dread me
Climbing hair down
Where you crept me
Out tower walls
back to a child
With the folklore
And the fairies
I’m as real as
You won’t get me
I’m your
imagination
Getting away,
getting away from you
Don’t let me get,
get away from you
Like diabetic hopes
To sugar highs
You’re too young to
think goodbyes
Blood pressure
between her thighs
Sugar, for all we
know
Dissolves, in
watered lines
It’s always shown
From one pupil to
the other’s
Drowned suckers
Contacts reflecting
eyes
Contact what she
fantasize
Encounter
I’m a first kind
Alien what we try
No for
Aint the answer
No for aint the
note that struck her cords
Encore
Ask her
How good for you
too
Frenching jumping
off walls
Not unlike that
first time
She sweat up in her
room
And dad walked in
He saw it all
Ceiling spinning
from the spirits
She invoked in liquor,
if her
Nigga could find where
he had entered
How many have exit
Maybe the next day
she’d remember
It just like she
imagined
