DUALISTIC SONNET
Wind smoke smog oxy
Cotton scats snaking
Through skyscrapers
Freeways Kinshasa oil
Synthetic field fires
No-wave Neon Synths
Burst splitting
Past realpolitik
Tokyo Tolkien
Beijing Beyoncé
Franciscan Francesca
Flittering past spatial
Geometrical worlds
Draconian dragons
Dagons’ daggers
Mythos and myrrh

In the artist’s words:
Karen Nielsen is a multimedia, recording, visual, and performance artist. She began writing music as an expressive outlet for the emotional experiences of her medical training. Her creative work expanded into performance art, videos, and still art works, and focuses on the multidimensionality of humanness in its beauty and ugliness.
