Metaphors




This tryptic is where my inspiration for my thesis work began. I created these three pieces from a self-portrait poem; visually illustrating and highlighting certain parts of the poem. I am continuing to do this with my thesis work.

My question to my audience:
Does the whole poem need to be displayed with the tryptic? Or do they make sense and connect to each other without the poem being present?

  1. I very much like the integration of text and image. The way you present snippets of each rather than the whole is intriguing. You could push this quality even further by eliminating the frames and letting the fabric become part of the wall.

  2. I really love your work here Brit, it's very beautiful and intricate. I must say I don't believe you need to have to the poems on display for people to understand your work. I also agree with Char when she says you don't need the frames. It would be interesting to perhaps make your own intricate, unorthodox frames but that is just an idea we could discuss in class to explain better what I'm talking about.
