Stack Poems & Texts

Made in notebooks, sketchbooks and on sheaves of paper. I write in an intensely sensory and image based way building up stratum of words that when excavated reveal a dazzling segment of verbal and visual imagery. Stream of consciousness words and fragments of sentences are jumbled and superimposed on a page in a multitude of coloured inks written or painted with a quill/watercolour brush; delineating each word is an image poem. Like drawing this activity is automatic and forms itself as it emerges on the page often corresponding with a painting or composition on the opposite page. The two are interactive: the words feed from the images fervently, spilling a vibrant profusion of crystallised ideas and pivotal descriptions for the eye to ponder.
