Statement
My
work in Visual and Concrete Poetry includes painted poems, found poems, asemic
writing and poems in ziggurat matrix formations. I am drawn to Persian and
Indian miniature paintings for their combination of image and text and the
illusion of space created in a small format. My work is often intimately
scaled. Yoko Ono’s book Grapefruit introduced new insights and concepts. Visual poems are in
The Black Mountain College Museum, Asheville NC, Albany Institute of History
and Art , NY, and Artpool, Budapest. Poems are included in The New Croton
Review, NY, UNI/vers(;), Germany, and other European folios and publications.
