Hello,
I wanted to make an additinal comment on the Haiku project.
My first thoughts on Haiku#11 is that in a way it relates to my spiritual visual vocabulary as a visionary artist. I have collaborate with Ibn Pori Pitt for many years in printmaking, murals and installations.
Haiku #11 a celebrated jailbreak from the whale's insides
Cinques come pouring.
Historically I've studied artist such as Hale Woodruff and Romare Bearden who have used Cinque as an icon for their murals and prints. Over the years i have created middle passage iconography for my work. I have also visited Goree Island and made my connection with the middle passage.
The piece Ibn and I are working on will speak to that wondering spirit of Cinque and the middle passage.
Saffell peace
