An ANTHOLOGY OF VISUAL POEMS is dedicated to Guido Vermeulen a Belgian poet and artist who passed away autumn 2014. I have integrated phrases and lines of his poetry into mixed media collages which are mounted on each pocket page (front and back). Inside the pockets are more poems Guido sent me during our years of correspondence. I enjoyed the challenge of this project. The guidelines we worked with altered the decisions I made throughout the process. I'm happy that I could honor Guido's memory and express the grief over the loss of a mentor and friend. Elaine Rounds is a nature based artist from Brandon whose current interests are mixed media, collage, bookmaking and mail art. Over the last 20 years, she has posted more than 10,000 mailings in the MAIL ART network. As a bookmaker, Elaine produces one of a kind artist books and small editions. Her work is found in private, public and corporate collections around the world. She has a long history of exhibitions--one woman, group and juried shows. Contact Information [email protected] |
