Transparentes Meer
This Line Is Six Feet Long
http://www.iamatextbasedartist.com/
I am interested in reductive forms and have recently been working on my own variant of punctuation poetry. The poems on show are composed of the symbols used to indicate the emphasis placed on syllables.
Transparentes Meer (transparent sea) is an alexandrine; a poetic line six feet in length - in this case 6 dibrachs, which are metrical feet of 2 unstressed syllables (??). It is also a concrete poem, the 12 breves constituting the wavy line of this transparent sea.
This Line Is Six Feet Long is another alexandrine. It is composed of 6 spondee (--), which are metrical units of 2 stressed syllables.

My love for the wild runs in my blood as in my work. I am interested in adventure and beauty; in search of the sublime. To me Bleak is Beautiful.
The idea of an experience and having a relationship with a place or environment is important in my work. It can be nostalgic; back to childhood adventures in a kind of escapism of maturity,civility and the banal rules of the everyday. In some sense to become feral is to become free. I often find myself trying to describe or copy something, something i cannot describe or put my finger on, it is an emotion brought on by a place or an experience of the outdoors. I am beguiled by this unreachable thing, this something beyond ourselves much greater.
