VERSEWORKS

Creative Commissions

Poetry as installation, intervention and public artwork. We develop original concepts in response to architecture, place, audiences and ideas — from projected and printed text to multilingual works, performances and participatory installations.

Poetry in public space

Poetry integrated into architecture, windows, walls, floors, signs, screens, projections and temporary installations. The work may be quiet and easily discovered or large enough to transform the character of a space.
