Project statement This painting consists of 14 strips representing 14 lines of a sonnet. The negative spaces and texture symbolize rhyme, rhythm and meter of a line. Before starting the painting, each strip holds text scribbled with pencil. These words are then painted over. This project showcases my investigation into the prosody of a poem. The sonnet, both in context and image, is a love song to Earth.
