Finally found time to create my illustration for the Word Binding book for ABC at UWE to illustrate the poem written by Beth Claverley (@poetrymachine on Instagram) at a zoom workshop back in April. All participants were allocated a few lines to illustrate. I was given:
It’s important, somehow,
that these thoughts aren’t picked
but found, pressed to the ground.
Moments that others might just walk past.
I decided to keep it simple, and incorporate some typewritten words from the poem as a nod to the orginal way it was written… I used rubber stamp, image transfer and typewritten collage. I look forward to seeing all of the other illustrations brought together into a book. The sketch shown above was done during the zoom workshop.
