Still Life — Special Issue
Cover of the MockingOwl Roost's special issue: Still Life
Have you ever stood in an art museum, lost to time in fascination as you gaze upon a sculpture, relief, painting, or pencil drawing? Have you felt that irrefutable pull into another’s world through their artwork or unique expression?
Or have you been the artist yourself, so drawn into your own creativity that it’s hard to come up for air, impossible to move outside of the rhythms your art calls you to?
The visual arts stun, amaze, and enthrall in ways we often can’t express or understand, so that even when pieces appear to lack depth to our own eyes, they’ll sink fully into the soul of another.
Enter the MockingOwl Roost’s contribution to this experience. From fiction and poetry to art and personal expression, Still Life offers a stunning display of these best qualities of visual artistry.
Breathe deeply as you ponder life’s changes in “Shawl Wrapped Nostalgia”. Immerse yourself in the world of a man lost from society but rich in humanity in “Silent Aspirations”. Appreciate the beauty and the unexpected in poems like “Cohesion” and “Art Deco”.
Still Life rests in the moments of quiet stillness, swirls in the vivacious rhythms of life, and synthesizes the two into seamless harmony within the world of visual art.
