‘Echo’ is a collaboration between artist Peter White and poet Jon Miller.
The project grew out of a series of conversations which often had as their starting point a particular object – bowl, word, book, garment, landscape. In the course of these conversations, clusters of ideas and images collected around the objects and these in turn instigated a series of explorations and investigations that eventually found their way back into the work.
The intention is not to have the paintings and poems illustrate each other but rather to consider how techniques and approaches to painting and writing combine and re-combine, refract and resonate with each other in a series of complementary works which have culminated in this exhibition.
