During 2021/22 I worked with writer George Marshall, illustrating a collection of his Haiku poems! The finished book features 40 Haikus alongside my illustrations which aim to capture the essence of each 3 lined poem.
Haikus focus on a brief moment in time, and through their simplicity create a sudden sense of enlightenment. My aim was to create illustrations that complimented the Haiku without being overpowering, still allowing the reader to connect with each Haiku in their own individual way.
I thoroughly enjoyed this project, it was liberating to be able to have such creative freedom, creating artwork in response to these poignant poems!
If you would like a copy, the book is available to purchase from my online shop.
