COMICS

January 2014
Poets, writers and artists met to exchange words and pictures in
collaborative collage, with a specific focus on the intersection between
poetry and comics.

With additional texts by Emily Pfeiffer
economy of line is paramount-
each panel and page must be carefully constructed-
consider how much will fit on the page-
choose whether to prioritise ideas or form-
comics are generally at their best when the words do not repeat the effects of the art and vice versa
-juxtaposition is an important tool
-the reading process is one of interpretation
rather than perception-
the reader is inextricable from the art-
what happens off the page is as important as what happens on it
-all the right notes, not necessarily in the right order
