The ArchesTwenty-five surreal colleges by Long Island artist John Digby, set in an ornate arch from the Alhambra, suggest a multiplicity of narratives and provide provocative starting points for poet Tony Curtis. Giraffes in slings, a toppling Statue of Liberty, wooly mammoths, are among the many intriguing images to which the poet has responded. The works in this book challenge artist, poet, and reader alike about the nature of creativity There is also an interactive CD of The Arches available. View the collages on computer and create your own images from the templates and dip art provided. Listen to the author reading his own poems, and write your own response to the words, images, and specially commissioned score. |
