Laura Kerr: var(–otherworld)

   visual poet: Laura Kerr
   interviewer: Elisabeth Sweet

LK: For (–otherworld), could we show the images without writing questions or answers, letting these three speak for themselves?

“Garden View” (2022);
“Ocean View” (2022);
“Earthly View” (2021);

 

Like most art, they are the question & the answer but not necessarily a specific question & answer because it depends on the viewer’s perspective now.

They also work best if presented together, as I see them creating their own dialogue.
