On the anniversary of my baby sister’s death I was trying to pull myself out of a depression and my eyes fell on this disc from my fathers film we found in the attic.”

What is a Visual Poem? A traditional narrative moves from left to right and is driven by chronological events from chapter to chapter. Our Visual Poems (TM) move from stanza to stanza like a poem and flow with the heartbeat of the storyteller to the sound of originally arranged music. In these insta-films we highlight the work and lives of our @greenwood.art.project artists as a sonnet of love and empowerment.
