Description
Thirty-six individual paintings were made as
illustrations to the Keats poem 'To Autumn'. They were created
in pairs, as facing pages. As
the poem comprises three, eleven-line stanzas, an additional
three images were used to balance the double page spreads.
Painted with acrylic inks, on BFK Rives paper, each illustrates
one line from the poem which is incorporated calligraphically.
(For the book the line itself was added digitally, reversed
out in white).
The
bigger picture
Each image is based on a detail from a photograph of a maple
tree on Bedford Street in Minneapolis. Seen all together,
the bigger picture is revealed in a fractured montage.
Individual
paintings are 465 x 290 mm (18.3 x 11.4 inches); together
they create a picture 2.79 x 1.74 m (9.15 x 5.7 feet).
