Perspective Play

"Perspective change can naturally encourage playing." I used found poetry and the pattern of printed words to explore a shift in creativity. Previously, I had become somewhat predictable with how I was using text, so I cut out the found poetry and flipped the page on its side which also illustrates a change in perspective and point of view that may encourage new ideas. Painted papers and layers are all a part of the playfulness of this piece as well as changing the format to a square, away from a traditional, rectangular book page.
