Intro/plaque

Below is my brainstorming for the content of my introduction/plaque. This shall accompany the exhibition, providing insight into the reasoning for the project. It shall contain the following, elaborated:



  • Introduction to a Sonnet.. what is a sonnet?
  • the timelessness of Shakespeare's work: how the stories, characters and situations are still relevant to a contemporary audience
  • The problems encountered when accessing the language and narrative present within the Sonnets

  • The importance of the VISUAL: 
  • I am creating a  visual platform for 'readings' of the sonnets
  • The visuals will highlight some of the multiple various interpretations that are possible 
  • I am designing a stage for the sonnets, similar to a theatrical production
  • This in turn informs the visual framework for viewer interpretations
  • The language is given a visual-aid, while maintaing the important contrasting elements of the spectacle and intimacy of the poems
