Seasons

Exhibition and Workshop

The ‘Seasons’ audiovisual arts concept is an artistic interpretation that addresses each season in its purest form, fusing poetry with music to articulate what they have meant in our hearts for generations, with the intention of stimulating audiences to consider these archetypes against their own recent experiences of weather.

Exhibitions & Workshops are available for booking:

A collage image representing the four seasons with vibrant colours and natural elements, accompanied by an informative text about seasonal changes, climate change, and the poet Sam Bartle.
Introduction panel from exhibition
A close-up view of green grass with white daisies and daffodils, illuminated by soft sunlight, accompanied by text from a poem titled 'Springtide Bright'.
‘Spring’ panel from exhibition

The exhibition comprises nine A0 size foam boards, including an Introduction, and two panels for each season (main poem and a season haiku) i.e. Springtide Bright, Spring (haiku), Summertime Shine, Summer (haiku), Autumnal Shades, Autumn (haiku), Wintry Depths, Winter (haiku). Each panel also contains a QR code linking to my audiovisual rendition of each main season poem.

It was commissioned by Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust for exhibition at the Far Ings Nature Reserve, Barton upon Humber, 21st March to 4th May 2026. A Spring Poetry Workshop was also held to accompany the exhibition and received some positive feedback from participants..
