A Storey Tarris UK Art Project
The third book in the collaboration is now online. The book is available in paperback and in Kindle format.
The artists made a change to their work style and decided to edit SINK to make SINK version II so they could collage SINK. RAGs is shorter than expected because of this editorial change. Instead of 12 weeks, the book includes 6.5 weeks.
The collaged version of SINK will be online in June 2024. Here is an image of what the collaged version of SINK will look like:
The new version of Sink titled Sink Version II is online. We made changes to the first sink and will be uploading an edited version of Sink : Poetry from the Fireswamp in May 2024. The new version of the first book SINK replaces all of the poems with a poem collage. The poems are in Sink Version II which will be the only book with the original poems. The series is now:
Sink: poems from the fireswamp (Being edited to be just artwork) Still online with unedited draft poems.
Sink Version II poems from the fireswamp, a book that has the edited poems and artwork.
Artist Note:
We kept the first book cover and are changing the interior of the book because of some information we read on amazon about editing the interior means we can change the content as long as their is not a drastic change in page number.
The artist Storey Tarris UK and writer Emmy Horstkamp, agreed that since the second version has all of the poems, they could make the first version just artwork using the words from the editing draft. This is an example of what the collages look like:
The collage above was created on April 26, 2024. It is a collage of Emmy Horstkamp’s words and the collage from the day before created by Storey Tarris UK. Storey has two versions of the collages which incorporated not only the book artwork but artwork from the day that She is experiencing when making the collage.
Storey decided to create the collages in this way which requires a timeframe of 8 weeks to make the collages which delays the art edit of the Sink the first book. We will be using the same cover, the only change is in the content of the inside.
The series of collages are called, Collage (day photo and one page of edited work) and The Day After (The collage from the day before and the collage from that day collaged together.). The two collage series will be used inside the red book cover showing train doors. The book of poetry with words is inside the train platform cover.
We unpublished the first version of Sink and will be adding it back on as a collage book in May 2024.
The first of six poetry books for 2024 is now scheduled for publication and will be available on March 31, 2024. The book will be available as a paperback, a hard cover and a kindle.
The book is Titled SINK – Poetry from the Fire Swamp.
Listening for sounds
waiting for a space transit
rain filling gray days.
by Emmy Horstkamp 12/3/2024
Out in the crowd - Look, take a chance, go. Moments passing, life alarms and black birds overhead. A mist rising, doors closing, sun beams relaying. Monday started. Evaporating with morning, spring arrives Year's week nine.
Buildings on standby - archiving by brick and colour. Life to 47 passes by -what happened in 48. How long do I have bricklayer? My photos archive the bricks and colours Will you let me write down on paper, The story facades of today?
Architecture from someplace or another elsewhere. Cracks between the clouds, five to seven everyone is there waiting, everything stayed,for something. Moments ceased over the weekenders, paused, sitting tight, lying low. Now, holding phones, looking for Monday morning's push. By Emmy Horstkamp 12/2/2024
This morning I wrote four poems. The poem above is from the longer Storeyean poem.
Because my commute was longer, I left some of the calendars at home and decided to write those poems in my regular notebook. All of the photographs for the poems will be printed on stamped later in the week.
Today transformed into a sunny day.
Can we start the OTHER one?
A rainy friday morning impression.
Sight and faces again contoured.

Say it Gale gust. Bike weather delayed now wind and rain pounding the train. by Emmy Horstkamp 26/1/2024
This morning the walk to the station was a moment between gales. Reaching the platform, the rain gusts threw rain horizantal and soaked only half of the platform. There were a few people sitting on benches, a few people standing in the rain and a few standing on the other side of the platform which stayed dry.
The poems for today focus on the rain starting and stopping with the wind.
-Look right- Streaming rain against the windows. The train is faster than the rain. by Emmy Horstkamp 26/1/20024
Full-moon-set illuminating the morning for split-seconds. Three minute deluges stopping a moment. The beginnning of a simple day dry. by Emmy Horstkamp 26/1/2024
Mixed bag morning train, commuters to local stops and King's cross. Notions of quiet perceived and acquired. Editing the day as it happens / transpires / presents itself. by Emmy Horstkamp 22/1/2024
