The Poet - Tree

Onchan Book Group had an opportunity to see artist Karl Garrett's 'Poet-Tree' at their meeting last Thursday. It's a tree trunk etched with poems to look like graffitti. As well as the hours it took to create the work, Karl wrote all the poems himself.

The 'Poet - Tree' really should be experienced  first-hand rather than photos. 

You will next have a chance to see The Poet - Tree  in The Henry Bloom Noble Library 18th  - 20th April.

Karl won The Norman Sayle Prize for Art in 2010, and you can visit his web site to view more of his work: http://garrettsgallery.webs.com/abouttheartist.htm
