Oneness
All of the artworks in Returning have been derived from a body of Kirli Saunders’ poetry with the same title (Magabala Books, 2022). Synthesising digital imagery with text,digital prints, Tidal & Oneness are her visual poems within Returning.
Oneness centers around a eucalyptus cell, with poetic text radially repeated around it mirroring the rings of an Elder Tree. Kirli would like to thank Uncle Athony McKnight for the lesson underpinning this work.

‘To be abandoned is to deny the intimacy of your surroundings’
~ David Whyte
When I confess loneliness
I am taken
to the window
to press elbows to aluminium
and witness the trees
to see
rashed trunks | youth | old scars | deep roots | smooth leaves | earthy truths of infestation
and with deeper observation–
| spirits |
akin to mine
the divine returned in this lifetime
as a guide
to remind
that there is never a time
to feel alone–
oneness simply has
many homes.
