An artist’s interpretations of Sylvia Plath and T.S. Elliot’s poems

 

Sylvia Plath was an American confessional poet, dealing with the lure of suicide even from an very early age, her poems are personal and revealing.

​

T.S Elliot a man recovering from exhaustion (neurasthenia), an unsuccessful marriage and in need of cathartic and therapeutic treatment for his mental condition writes, as he is recovering, his famous long poem, ‘The Waste Land’.

​

I find drawing and painting the images, inspired by their poetry to be extremely intriguing, it is an exploration of the poet’s imagination and through their words and mingled with my attempt to achieve the images that I see in my mind’s eye, they combine to make an unexpected world of dark surprises.
