The Part of Works
Adele Myers’s recent film works re-imagine the words of poets, shifting the dialogue from the page to the screen. She reconstructs the imagery and narrative to create new and extended themes that go beyond the original. Often drawing from her life experiences to bond a personal perspective to the text. The result is a meander, a meditation or kaleidoscope of observation.
