A series of artistic exchanges between me and the narrative and visual artists I am blessed to know, this collection was conceived during the isolation of 2020.
I am a narrative artist and during the silent solitary months of the pandemic I wrote a lot of poetry. Though I also make my living through words, those I produce as an artist are very different. They nurture and reflect my soul. Through the process of writing and reciting poetry, I found myself in conversation with others who feed my soul and imagination. That realisation motivated me to instigate this series of creative conversations.
The process was simple. Think of an artist I admire and like, write a poem about or for them, send it to them with an invitation to respond, enjoy their offering. I really enjoyed this unplanned project and expect I’ll repeat it again someday. I invite and encourage you to do the same, whatever your medium. To nurture collaboration and creativity simultaneously is fuel for the soul.
If you’d like to engage in an exchange with me, please get in touch.
