Melissa D. Johnston's love's labor

 

I was recently introduced to Melissa D. Johnston by a mutual friend who thought I might be interested in this Atlanta-based artist’s form of expression called “VisPo” short for Visual Poetry. Melissa’s blog describes it as “a form of poetry that’s meant to be seen, where words and images perform a dialogue with each other and with the reader to make meaning.” 

Melissa has a show up at Eyedrum through the 15th of this month if you want to check out her work in person. She also has an online gallery site here. To learn more about VisPo read Melissa’s write-up on WoPoWriMo here. More work below.
