As resident at Bank Street Arts, I will explore modes of ekphrasis to examine how writing drawn from art can move beyond description, or imitation; to investigate how different writers respond to various media and how writing techniques can capture the working process of an artist without undermining notions of originality and authenticity.  I will try to understand the value of ekphrastic writing, to aim for a mode of writing more integral to the art source, while also achieving its own unique and independent status.
