newhive.com/jzeidz/greek-poetryThinking about how form is related to meaning, I took Keats' poem and masked it with a diagram of Greek pottery, which created 14 "mini poems." Thinking about the concept of fragments in regards to both pottery and poetry, this experiment made the poem reflect what I think is a modern relation to these mediums. Thinking of a Grecian urn as a chipped artifact in a cold museum and a long poem as something that needs to be chopped and changed, I wanted to see what could come through combining this fracturing. This lead to me thinking about the profoundness many find in focusing bits and pieces rather than things in their entirety. This enjoyment of the concise is an area I wish explore further in my work in this class, as I feel like pairing down language, whether it be through visual replacements or using numerals, adds to the growing silence made possible through increased technology.
