In a Cloud of Seabirds: The Art of Collaborating with Artist/Illustrator, Douglas Robertson

As an artist, Douglas Robertson has been using the written and spoken word extensively in his work for over twenty years. Through collaborations with poets, past and present, the marriage between the visual and textual has become an integral inspiration in his creative process. This has allowed a love of poetry and language to flourish, and now acts as the fundamental drive behind his studio practice, exhibitions and publications. He has worked closely on numerous collaborations merging word and image to communicate the vision of writer and painter.

In this talk Douglas Robertson will discuss how his work has lead him to develop an understanding and appreciation of how vision and verse, sound and structure can effectively communicate with the eyes, hearts and minds of the audience. He will consider how dialogue between writer, artist and audience is the real measure of success, with words, images and emotions uniting to create a true collaboration.
