We Won!

The prestigious Newcastle Poetry Prize  New Media Award is a recent initiative to foster new directions in Australian Poetry. This year, poet James Stuart and I picked up the The New Media Award, which carries a $2000 first prize. James approached me to work on this interactive flash experience, based on a poem he penned on a family holiday. Themes of cross cultural ways of viewing landscape were explored, and was fun to animate for more esoteric ends. You can view our poem by clicking here.

  1. Laura,

    wow! This is so very beautiful. Congratulations! What a talented pair you both are and what an awesome collaboration. Hopefully you will create many more! I would love to give this link to the art teacher at my school. Is that ok?

    cheers
