We are thrilled to have been invited to create a work for the very beautiful Boekie Boekie, a Dutch children's magazine that has been running for 21 years and has 88 published issues! The creators of the magazine have also created a wonderful project called Poem Express where children from all over the world make Poem Posters.
Together we worked responsively to develop words and an image inspired by the theme of Pinocchio/Pinokkio that will be featured in Issue 89.
No Strings Attached
walk me into the world
walk me into the world
and wait while I think
breathe into my bones
so I can speak
give me time to stand up
after foal-like sink
carve space in my joints
to new worlds undone
attach strings to my heart
and see how I run
Concept and content for images, words and the space between them by Lilly Blue and Jo Pollitt.Copyright 2012.
As a Dutch fan of BIG I couldn't be more pleased! What a great surprise!!
