Spare Rib Revisited Sketches

Once Carron finishes the poetry she starts to build a visual archive that can be rebuilt and employed for sculptural designs in a city or neighborhood to activate the poetry. Again the idea of thinking about how we can weave poetry into the fabric of each city through these personal narratives. These preliminary sketches become prints and sculptures.

Each preliminary drawing is inspired by the conversation with each person and I try in abstract terms to embody the person and their ideas or passions and talents in life. It is an intimate exchange.

These preliminary sketches in my sketchook for Spare Rib Revisited also start to think about the social interconnections between these women living in this small community. For instance, I met one of the woman in Chicago, and she invited me to stay with her. I was then invited to perform in Lenzburg at the Forward16 Festival and I met Verena Haller who happened to be a neighbor of the person I was living with. These coincidences started to build spaces for greater connection between these women.

This was a collage drawing created from different elements in the Isabel Gardner Museum in Boston, USA. While I’m traveling one of my favorite past times is to visit museums and draw. Sometimes I draw in my sketchbook and other times I draw on little postcards. Working in my sketchbook allows me to study a collection on a deeper level and I was excited to see original Leon Bakst drawings that were in this museum on the back of a door.

Print
From the sketch I developed this two color screenprint at Spudnik Press. While sitting in the Gardner museum they have an open library for the public where birds sing. It is very unique to this museum and something that really made my visit very pleasurable. This print is available in eight editions.
