painting large language forms.

the exercise has been to develop the method and script for the performance of poetry, painting with the large language forms. the exercise has vastly increased my consideration for my personal limitations at producing a larger production.
i am satisfied that i completed the challenge to fit my program into the 7 min. constraint. i am pleased that i work shopped the script and painting process the weeks prior to the performance date.
the takeaway for me, is that if i put on another painted poem production, i would like to have control over the venue, and promotion. i can learn and practice the entire story, and preform it as a painted poem.

in 2022 i did a painted poem exercise at the Arcadia Housing Co-Operative ,
here is the recording of that event .
the practice sessions
at the risk of demystifying the work, i have produced some sessions here that are recordings of me working and even discovering my process. the idea i held when i was first invited to be part of the Legs performance relay, was that i would tape the fabriano paper to the wall. and paint the poem while reciting it.
Really interesting and enjoyed watch your process in the video.
stunning!
