Collaborations
Collaboration with poetry
In 2023 I was approached by a local poet, who was looking for an artist to produce a couple of paintings to display alongside some of his poems.

'On the top road
what appeared to be roadkill
was a thrown stole
blown from a stolen car'

as an old man spreding dust of angels on the mortals'

Collaborating with another local poet, Sean Fitton, resulted in some abstract responses.
I was interested in the formal structure of the poetry, it was a form I hadn't come across before. I gave each element its own piece.

''Rain and wind throw down
Leaves and yellowing blossom
People wear their coats
Yesterday it was sunny
The coffee shop plays reggae'
