These images are the original hand-made colour photomontages by Lucy Hamilton. She constructed them to prompt a new experimental route into writing ekphrastic poems, using artefacts such as photographs, heirlooms and letters as a way of exploring family relationships through myth, religion, history, gender and geography. Montages onto which she superimposed coloured materials, including india ink, tissue, textiles and garden flora. The poems in Viewer | Viewed seek possible connections and the printed images are improvised and provisional.
