Every Friday, our Art Across The City hub has workshops from ‘the Glitterationists International‘. The Swansea based duo invite you to explore your imagination to create artworks of invader plants. native plants or hybrid plants using collage, text and watercolour.
Today’s workshop has included some beautifully created poems, from the cut outs of plant/gardening magazines which have resulted in some very creative and powerful poems.
One of today’s poems by Sarah Hanrahan:
‘The scarlet pimpernel is easily found.
Despite d’Ortzi’s poem otherwise
Its common in the abandoned places
Has spreading limbs and tiny size.
It’s oft forgot but there is one yellow
Cousin to the scarlet
The same in every way
Except its less a harlot’
