Descrizione
Presented as a textile artwork, "Seventh Malindi Concrete Poem" is a remarkable example of concrete poetry. This 104 × 80 cm piece, which combines literary expression with visual art, is made using thread on fabric. The piece demonstrates Williams' investigation of language as a visual medium by utilizing word and patterns to produce an abstract and expressive composition. Williams' experience in Malindi, Kenya, is what inspired the title's suggestion of an African influence. Inviting spectators to interact with the artwork as more than just a visual experience, the threads create geometric shapes and word fragments. By adding warmth and texture, the choice of fabric as a medium grounds the poem's cerebral essence in tactile reality.
