Prospectus:
Poets and artists often are drawn to the same subjects--the sublime, the horrible, uplifting the ordinary, parodying the ridiculous. Writers have often taken their inspiration from great works of art. Artists, in turn, have given form to the poet's voice, often illustrating a favourite poet's book of verse.
"Conversations" seeks to draw artists into a visual dialogue with the Dead Poet of their choice. Works can be inspired by a line of poetry, a full poem, or a body of work by an individual poet. Each artist will provide a statement, detailing how the poet they chose served as muse, and how their creation relates to the original inspiration.
This show is open to all members of EBSQ+.
Submissions are welcome in any medium, and need not be auctioned on ebay to participate. Entries should include a jpeg of your work (or works), size, title, medium, ground, and a brief explanation about the piece which will be included as part of the online exhibit.
