Pillow Talk by Marc Zegans & Gabrielle Senza

A collaboration between artist Gabrielle Senza and poet Marc Zegans

Pillow Talk explores the human comedy through erotic haiku and graphite images drawn with sensitivity and light.  Senza and Zegans’ collaboration unfolds as a conversation between form and text playing out across the pages of a pillow book, an intimate set of musings on eros expressed in raucous, tender, vulnerable human form.

Speaking different languages, male and female, line and word, sound and shape, Zegans and Senza turn in to each other, gently, allowing life to find its balance in the shared, quiet moments of pillow talk.

Artist-activist, Gabrielle Senza is internationally recognized as an environmental artist, social activist, educator, curator and writer.
