Visual Poetry
February 10 - April 9, 2022 at Fishcake
As a visual artist, I began painting these new pieces with the mission to depict Wayne Kaumualii Westlake’s poetry as raw and unfiltered as possible. Constructing images with a blend of typographical effects, the pieces become alive as they convey meaning along with visual significance. This style that I have full-heartedly embraced can be referred to as visual poetry.
