A new body of work intended for my upcoming solo exhibition titled
15 Letters to Spring got me thinking about the difference between: visual + poetic structures = vispo and visual + prose structures = VISPRO. Surely there must be a difference. There appears to be no distinction between any genres - asemic writing/visual narrative/make that MOST things! Its something I'm trying to formulate in my OWN mind and I know there are others who are not comfortable (but accepting) of their work being called vispo - I KNOW very little of what I produce is related to visual+poetry. Hence a new group of Facebook - it may amount to nothing, but I am seeing some things which are making my own thinking clearer - and we all have to start SOMEWHERE?? I have layered each painting (a series of them with 15 laters of VISPRO) - here is the first one I started and completed, working backwards - the painting (1.5m X 1m, 7 layers acrylic paint, 8 layers oil paint on stretched canvas).
