"I am here always
Captured in the palm of your hand
look closely and see me there
I wave at you from my bedroom
window
lit in bright fluorescence
blinding sterile empty
like the beginning of time
like what there was before
wash of nothing
where things conduct."
(Annabel Webster, Epoxy Resin Nightmare)
EPOXY RESIN NIGHTMARE
"I miss when you held me mama
I have to find other things to do that now
other people
I wish you would hold me mama."

Medusa Collective NYC is proud to present a production of Epoxy Resin Nightmare by Annabel Webster directed by Maryanna Tollemache.
