Join author Felix Cheong and artist Sam Lay as they launch this innovative collection of poetry inspired by the “Life in a Notebook” series which playfully hides ordinary objects in plain sight in the artwork.
Is that a swing, or a pair of glasses? Is that word ‘bar belles’ or ‘barbells’?
Look again, read again; you will see images and words in a new light in The Mischief of Ordinary Things.
Cheong responds to these thoughtfully cheeky images by penning poems about heartbreak, life in the workplace and art-making. Lyrical, witty and satirical, they offer an intriguing textural counterpoint to Lay’s artwork, and a whole new world of meaning-making opens up.
Welcome to The Mischief of Ordinary Things, where the familiar appears strange and what is strange, most familiar.
