Midsummer and Other visual poems

These five visual poems reflect on belonging and not belonging, on the unreliability of memory and perspective, and even language. Four Rue is a Mathews Corpus poem that uses words that are written the same and have different meanings in English and in French and Midsummer remembers a party in a war zone. St Catherine's recreates a walk in the rain through a part of Brussels with the same name, and Nekkerspoel a train journey to the coast. Arable like Planets works with the text and pages of Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native.

Nekkerspoel is a photographic collage; the other works are mixed media using textile, stitch, paper (kneaded and raw), acrylic paint and ink.
