Byron's Strategy

This fabric sculpture is based upon rhyming text submitted by over 30 people which was then written and embroidered on a petticoat. The idea being whether your poetry is good or bad, if you rhyme well or rhyme enough, a woman will lift her skirt. It’s persistence. It’s the comfort of knowing that something continues to repeat itself. So although modern poetry sometimes spurns iambic pentameter and the couplet, there is something to be said of the quiet maneuvering of similar words that hypnotize and mesmerize.
