The Brick Poems are hybrid "texts" that appropriate the hand-made illustrative markings of different illustrators, cartoonists, etc as they draw bricks (usually in the backgrounds of city scenes)... for each piece in this series, the illustrator's drawn source material is scanned and digitally constructed brick-by-brick into walls by the poet; the unique, individual style of each illustrator's approach to an object such as a brick is metaphorically connected to the poet's unique approach to the written word... each piece, a slow assembly in time.
