poster information
Description
March; spring equinox.
Daffodils, like many suns,
peek through clouds of snow.
My haiku speaks of me in two ways. It reflects my recently discovered pleasure in writing three-line, seventeen syllable verse. As an architect I enjoy the challenge of using so few words to suggest a visual image. Like a written snapshot, what lies beyond the frame can only be inferred.
This particular haiku also reflects the seasonal changes that I have come to appreciate living in Central New York—the predictability with the arrival of an equinox or a solstice, yet the unpredictability of snow in May or sixty degrees and bright sun in December.
The haiku I chose reflects the glimmer of warmth in the dead of Upstate New York winters. I wanted to reflect that in my color choices within the piece by combining cool blues with golden yellows.
I'm glad to be a part of the Syracuse Poster Project as well as a part of the Syracuse art community. I look forward to seeing the progression of art within the city.
