The Arctic was a Poem Twisted into Rope

2013

Collaborative artist’s book made during the Arctic Circle 2013 summer residency with Amanda Thakray. A poem, composed in a new form which utilises the structures of rope, has been twisted into a paper rope and mounted onto a salvaged Arctic weather balloon winch. Exhibited at Center for Book Arts, New York, 2013 and across the UK as part of Arctica during 2015.
