Some images from my 'poem in light' commission in Canterbury. I asked people to share their secrets and dreams with me and I made poetry from them and projected them 60 feet high.... Imagine seeing your secrets written large and knowing that no one else but you knows it is yours.. The whole poem is 127 lines long. This is some of the linking text.. but it will give you some idea.
Poetry City was devised by the wonderful Workers of Art, and I must say I feel particularly blessed to given such a free reign to create by painting poetry in light over the ancient walls of the city...
(the lovely projections are made by clever projections & butch auntie)

Wonderful!
Congratulations on the commission. What a great way to get a little, ahem, exposure.
Truly Beautiful.
Amazing! It must have been so beautiful! Really wish I could have seen. How lovely, words on stone at dusk!
Thank you Maureen, Rehan, Cat
It was so exciting every evening watching the words appear and seeing the reactions on people's faces as they came to a halt on the street.
