Artwork, Left to Right : Shelbi Bennett Golden Light — Page One, Golden Light — Page Two, Golden Light — Page Three “I found you all alone that night sipping whiskey golden light, you said that you had lost your sight and lost your will to live”, Golden Light — Page Four “you looked as if your heart had broke, sitting silent sucking smoke, fuzzy eyelids on my coat, leaking like a sieve”, Golden Light — Page Five “I spun my words like silky thread, wove my hair to make his bed. Wrapped him tight with wanting web, for him to suck me dry instead”, Golden Light — Page Six “oh I never felt the sting, quite like that one happening. He made me cry, he made me sing, he made me wish a lot of things”, Golden Light — Page Seven Golden Light — Page Eight “I wonder where he is right now, it's all that I can think about, it's all that I can't live without, it's all I can't forget”, Golden Light — Page Nine “how can I think of moving on? And how could I have been so wrong? My love my light my thrill is gone. I lost it in a bet.”, Golden Light — Page Ten “I'm afraid of being told I'm going deaf or growing old, my parents death and streets of gold, a life without a hand to hold”

About
Shelbi Bennett: Bathing Lady;
Golden Light is a collection of works on paper that explore feminist approaches to storytelling, melody, composition and rhythm in its relationship to songwriting and contemporary painting, with narrative and structure at its core. The exhibition presents a collection of works that coincide with Bennett's release of her latest single "I'm Fine (But I'm Lying)" — with an entire segment of the exhibition visually narrating the song. Moving from the graphic novel boldness of dark lines and allegoric snapshot drawings in 4/4 timing, Bennett changes the tone of the exhibition with a separate selection of works created with a certain softness and self discovery. These works on paper evoke androgyny and mythology through soft psychological and almost private snapshots and observations of her figurative subjects.
