Product Description
Hear the Art is the essential poetry-as-art collection, loaded with Richard Kelly Tipping’s elegant, wry and telling poems made as sculpture and as picture. Tipping works with poetic language in visual forms and physical media ranging from animated neon, slump glass, engraved marble and screenprint to large-scale public sculptures in steel, granite and electric lights. Typographic designs move off the page, becoming independent poem-objects until -while living in the artworld as things -they are photographed, and return to the page. This book is full of realised ideas, a rich panoply of word art demanding to be seen, heard and remembered.
REVIEWS
“Tipping draws on the latent anagrammatic and resonant properties of words and phrases to provoke, as he writes, “new ways of seeing the everyday”.” ANDY JACKSON, The Saturday Paper
