Introductions - Proclaiming Art  Online Art Exhibition 2025

This years collection is called simply, Communication, a theme I am carrying on from my previous 2024 exhibition, Upon Reflection.  

Communication is the thread that weaves through every human interaction—yet so often, it frays, knots, or unravels. This series of one installation and one sculpture explores the fragile, fragmented, and layered nature of how we express, withhold, and interpret meaning.

Still Loving You Poem by Christine Eltherington

Still Loving You is a poetic exploration of enduring love and unresolved relational fracture, observed through the lens of a long-standing mother-child relationship. The work meditates on emotional silence, the absence of mutual reconciliation, and the quiet resilience of a love that persists despite rejection and neglect.  The poem situates itself within themes of communication breakdown, unhealed emotional wounds, and the complex interplay between vulnerability and relational distance.

Through the metaphor of Morse code—traditionally a tool for transmitting messages across great distances—it questions the efficacy of our emotional signals in strained relationships.

Are we truly hearing each other—or just making noise?

The piece ultimately asks the viewer to consider how pain can distort presence and how, in the absence of forgiveness, even love can become inaudible.

Once upon a time,
you were closer to me than my own heartbeat—
fragile breath in the silence,
a soul I held with trembling care.
You leaned on me for everything,
your life nestled safely in my hands.

But you took a breath…
and the beginning whispered the end.

Words once soft turned sharp,
tears like rain fell between us.
Promises floated—delicate, hopeful—
then sank beneath rejection’s weight.
It took your seat in my heart,
where once only you had dwelled.

Your gaze dimmed,
your words thinned to echoes.
And I—still here—
call into the silence
where your absence now answers.

How can I reach you,
when you are galaxies away,
though standing right there?

Speak to me.
There is nothing you could say
that would stop my love.
I am hurt, afraid,
but not hurt enough
to stop loving you.

This poem reflects the quiet ache of a one-sided love observed over many years—a relationship between a mother and child where forgiveness never found its place. Despite distance, rejection, and silence, the mother’s love remained constant. Her pain was real, but it never silenced her longing or devotion. The piece explores how, when wounded, we sometimes become a noise others tune out, even though all we long for is to be heard.

A Time To Speak

There is a Time for everything Ecclesiastes 3: 7 

My next art piece is called A Time To Speak.  Just like my poem Still Loving You, this piece reminds us that our words have meaning only when they come from a place of listening.  We need to speak, not just to be heard, but to understand — to connect.  Because when we speak without listening, our voices become nothing more than noise.
