About
"#70 – I AM TIRED" is from Amy Williams' series "A Farewell to Arms" – wherein the artist works directly onto page 70 of a found copy of Ernest Hemingway's WWII romance novel. The artist selects certain words and phrases from the page to isolate as a poem, and then draws, inks, redacts and paints the rest of the page according to whim and text.
Here the poem reads simply: "I am tired / It's the heat / I feel very low / You must forgive me." Like other pages in this series, Amy Williams' treatment of Hemingway's pages packs a punch of criss-crossing intentions and interpretations – i.e. Hemingway the war-correspondent, the masculine world traveler and author of several key texts in American literature, surrenders his words to an artist's paint, ink and collage practice, resulting in selected words, a poem excavated, the specific language of the page finding a visual expression. Here for page 70, a large sun dominates.
From Amy Williams – "My recent work is focused on making treated book pages using a found vintage copy of "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway. I was inspired by Tom Phillips' "A Humument", and I'm working my way through each page of Hemingway's book. I select specific words and phrases to create a poem, then I create artwork to embellish the page. The final product is both poetry and visual art."
