SEE THE SHOW

I made this series of sculpture from firewood a neighbor left in the alley. In addition to the traditional Haiku rules for writing poetry, I added a number of others.

1. Titles: three nouns or adjectives beginning with the subject letter (alliteration).

2. Poetry: three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, most words beginning with the subject
letter.

3. Letters: three pieces of camphor wood using only a band saw and a sander.

The audio you may want to hear while looking at the 26 letters comes from the film I made also called "My Haiku Alphabet."
