A plastic surgeon’s take on the art of her making

is there beauty in the grotesque

one asks

Freya Jobbins feels

a connection clearly

she creates a sense

and she reveals

a need just to recycle

her thoughts in fact for she

may actually find that the grotesque

is an arrangement she does see

a plastic surgeon takes a face perhaps

and recreates

something else more beautiful

but possibly complicates

the form based on an aspiration

of a former dream

and although she has the scalpel

the result may not redeem

by taking plastic pieces

discarded limbs lets say

and purposefully designing faces

that she may see each day

she may have seen over the years

and recreates them so

we can share those inner thoughts

and really start to know

how a plastic surgeon ticks

how the mind is changed

how the face can alter

a perception

the deranged

aspects of one’s beauty

and the ugliness around

may take on a grotesque burlesque

mask that might astound

some appear to some

quite frightening

others might appear

clownlike  possibly doll like

possibly generating fear

in some the mass of tiny limbs

positioned in such a way

to grab the gristle in the mind eyes

and to make it pay

her work shows the frustration

the gullability

of art in all its facets

even depravity

but art it is and somehow

those questioning the form

might feel and inner resonance

likened to a storm
