riffing

Back in the spring, friend and Seattle poet Melanie Noel and I worked this idea of sculptural poetry. Together we imagined that this kind of hive could be, contain and reveal a poem, much as a real hive might be built by, house and reveal its bees. This sculpture would conceal a small audio recorder and spill the words from within, hanging mostly solitary in a space. I continue to be enchanted with the idea of bringing this piece to live in multiple dimensions: as a linear written piece that wraps itself into volume and then penetrates the aural.
