Haiku 1

A haiku has seventeen syllables in three lines. 5-7-5 The constraint is the point. It forces the poet to choose only what matters, to say everything in almost nothing. I applied that same discipline to paint.

Each piece in the Haiku series was built from exactly seven elements. Collaged paper, ink, high flow acrylic. Every mark deliberate.

Hang all five together as a full visual poem. Hang three. Hang two. Create your own arrangement and write your own meaning into the space between them.

The originals in the series are 18x12 on paper and are available. Prints too!
