Visual poem/erasure poem and collage using paper and digital techniques. Images sourced from a contemporary fashion magazine,
Wood and Sowerby (1859) The common objects of the sea shore : including hints for an aquarium and an amazing illustration, I'd guess mid (19, showing the open mouths of birds.
Hi-res image and some variations here. If anyone gets a chance to look I'd appreciate feedback on which they think work best as I don't think I've quite realised the colour and shades in this yet.
Placing in art because this is probably more art than poem but the words matter too.
