Elizabeth Ashworth is our blinc Artist of the Day today..
Elizabeth Ashworth’s poetry, as her painting, is intuitive and expressionistic, written in response to change and flux, as experienced in the visual world of landscape and atmosphere and in narratives of loss and isolation. She is a winner of the Alice Hunt Bartlett Prize and her poems have appeared in Transatlantic Review, Poetry Review, Poetry Wales and New Welsh Review, with collections from Outposts and Cinnamon Press. Her influences range from Japanese poetic forms through Beat poetry and Dada, and her poetry is intended to disturb and delight rather than reassure and soothe. Through textual and textural harmonies and using language as she uses colour, finding fresh juxtapositions and new meanings, she likes to explore the possibilities of both art forms.
For blinc she is collaborating with Jobina Tinnemans, Joel Cockrill, Craig Morrison and the Welsh Writer Menna Elfyn on a projection piece for Plas Mawr.
