Emerald came down to Vancouver, from Kelowna, for a visit with friends and decided to have some poetry painted on to her. She was enthusiastic, energetic, and wonderful to work with. The bulk of our time spent together was consumed with me hand lettering my poem on to her body and this was a bit early on in the whole plan to publish a hand lettered poetry book.. this one specific poem being a bit too long for the published goal.. as you’ll see when the poem is exhibited in it’s entirety, it would be too long (vertically) to render readable in printed book format.. particularly if the page layout size was 5″ by 9″ (roughly).
So, this session was the one that made me re- think which poems, specifically, would go in to The Book.. opting for shorter selections.
