| Description: | This essay examines the relationship between word and image in the art and writing of Maud Sulter (1960-2008), an artist and writer of Scottish and Ghanaian heritage who lived and worked in Britain. It explores her relationship to the Black art movement and to Black poets in the 1980s, investigates her interest in and use of several languages, and considers a spectrum from sound to silence. The essay traces a move from embedding poems in art works, as in her early series Poetry in Motion (1985, Birmingham) to a relation of reciprocity where poems are written for and exhibited alongside art works, giving voice to performative portraits or figures of the disappeared. |
