I spent time this week creating a poem-installation for the Waterweek 2019 Vital Water Exhibition at Gallery North in Hailsham.
Sonnet
[The Binnie Sisters at Birling Gap Summer Solstice 2003/ Sonnet]
This sonnet was written from notes taken during an encounter with Christine Binnie’s large ceramic pot, The Binnie Sisters at Birling Gap Summer Solstice 2003, at the Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne; exhibited as part of Figure Study II, spring 2019.
Valentine’s Sonnet
This week's writing practice has been grounded in the realities of my daily life. Journalling & free-writing became a starting point for developing a poetic response in exploring the sonnet form through contemporary experimentation.
