The Years before and After, 2025

The Light the Dead See
by Frank Stanford
There are many people who come back
After the doctor has smoothed the sheet
Around their body
And left the room to make his call.
They die but they live.
They are called the dead who lived through their deaths,
And among my people
They are considered wise and honest.
They float out of their bodies
And light on the ceiling like a moth,
Watching the efforts of everyone around them.
The voices and the images of the living
Fade away.
A roar sucks them under
The wheels of a darkness without pain.
Off in the distance
There is someone
Like a signalman swinging a lantern.
The light grows, a white flower.
It becomes very intense, like music.
They see the faces of those they loved,
The truly dead who speak kindly.
They see their father sitting in a field.
The harvest is over and his cane chair is mended.
There is a towel around his neck,
The odor of bay rum.
Then they see their mother
Standing behind him with a pair of shears.
The wind is blowing.
She is cutting his hair.
The dead have told these stories
To the living.

When we look at the World Atlas, we know that the flatness is a representation of a threedimensional object, the Earth. To map this world onto a flat surface the cartographers use the concept of topological equivalence. I used a bastardised version of this in this painting by simply connecting the image upon the vertical and horizontal axis. This contains the painting within itself, cutting out anything beyond the edges of the picture plane. The result is a continuous loop, a birth, death and rebirth.With the daffodil, it is a cyclical eruption of spring.

Fragment from the Conversation with @brigade_gallery
‘Other paintings in the show, such as Sunflowers (Red) and Sunflowers (Blue) depict sunflowers in various stages. One of the smaller works is titled Słonecznik, which translates to “sunflower” in Polish. What significance does the flower hold to you?
We often associate sunflowers with joy. I’m not sure if that is due to the colour of their petals, the size of their big heads, or the fact that their name has the word sun in it.. Personally, I find the way they gleam with their bright yellow petals to be a little bit overzealous. In Poland we decapitate them in the summer and eat the seeds directly out of their heads. My mum does this while watching TV.’
