Brent Harris: Writing Poems to the Moon

Brent Harris's 'Writing poems to the moon' encompasses a series of 15 conté drawings on laid paper, paintings and eight hand-coloured prints based on an earlier work.

As the moon is for Brent Harris, so it has often been a muse for ageing poets as they contemplate their mortality with melancholic reflection. Although there is no actual moon visible, the drawings do have a moon like glow.

'The light from the moon is a reflection,' says Harris. 'It’s second-hand moonlight but still contemplative.'
