My work is inspired by Erin Hanson (e.h) a 21 year old poet born in Australia. In my painting, I visually attempted to illustrate a simple and yet key part to any and every poet's life or story. Built upon an open book as a background I used the skeletal structure of the eye to hold a mirror reflecting the poet, as if she is looking at herself. By juxtaposing the physical image of a human - what any person may see, and the ink dripping from the person to form the words of the poem I hoped to communicate how the poet appears to themselves figuratively. That the poet puts their very being or soul into their work, and that they are essentially the source of the poem.
