This collaboration of visual artist Susan York and poet Arthur Sze explores how their disciplines may work synergistically.
Sze first composed the poems in consultation with York over a period of nine months. Then, with input from Sze, York created minimalist images to accompany the verse. The exhibition comprises eleven pairs of abstract graphite drawings presented with their source texts. The project debuted in 2013 at the Santa Fe Art Institute.
Support for this exhibition and its programming has been provided by the Lannan Foundation.
