During the exhibition next week, I will be inviting gallery attendees to submit their Japanese or English haiku poems based on one or more of the eight visual 'Artist haiku' prints that will be on display.
The 'Artist haiku' series follows the artist as she explores the woods surrounding her home and studio.
After the show, I will prepare a digital booklet with the eight images and all the poems that were submitted. I'll send everyone who participated a copy of the PDF booklet.
Even though you may not be able to attend the show in Tokyo, you can participate in the experience by submitting a haiku. View the eight images in the online slideshow:
Each image is a triptych, divided into 3 panels that evoke the structure of a 27-syllable English haiku. The first line should contain 5 syllables, the second 7 syllables and the third 5 syllables.
Here's an example of a haiku based on 'Artist haiku 2':
Light bathing through spores
On a bed of fiddled ferns
Fluffy pillowed dreams
Walk along with the artist and feel her environment.
Please send me by email one or more of your haiku poems, indicating the image your haiku relates to.
