4 ICSA TODAY
Arts and Poetry By Katharina Meredith
2006. I went to my first ICSA conference.
I presented a painting, neat and pretty.
I myself was neat and pretty.
The painting was called Freedom
What a pretty word.
Freedom (Acrylic on canvas)
Shit Happens (Acrylic on canvas with feather)
2015. I went to my second ICSA conference.
I was mad: at the world, at my parents.
All the pain had broken loose.
A wave that was brutal.
I was able to feel again.
This is my painting now.
This is me now. Full of the past.
Full of the present.
With a future.
Real.
(The painting is now titled Shit Happens)
