Poetic Interpretation

January 25th, 2008

I've been working on a Poetic Interpretation board assignment this week. I picked out a song by the Weakerthans ("Without Mythologies", my favourite) and created an image to go along with it. I've chosen the last one in the following series to be "the one". I had so much fun in the darkroom! This turned out to be a lot easier than I thought, though if I had more time, I would fix a lot of it (so excuse the bad technique and the really cruddy scan quality). I will not post the Weakerthans song on my blog - no, that will be reserved for the board at school. But, I will attach a poem that Dallas emailed me after she saw my prints yesterday. It's pretty cute.



HEADACHE
Having a tree growing up out of me
Is often a worrisome thing.
I'm twisty and thorny and branchy and bare
But wait till you see me in spring.
