Poetics of Pain is the latest release by Ryan Hooper for Heavy Cloud Press and is a limited edition trilogy of A5 saddle-stitched pamphlets, which complements the music of the same name.
Act 1:
Relief (96 pages) tracks and deconstructs an intense pain experience through free writing, asemic writing, poetry, analysis, drawings, paintings and collages. This abstract diary touches upon pain and healing via fragmented thoughts on medicine, music, art, cinema, myths and literature. The pamphlet compliments Act 1 from the Poetics of Pain album and comes with a hand-stamped CDr of 'Relief' in a stamped cardboard sleeve decorated with album artwork.
(Entr'acte)
Entangled branches whispering (96 pages) is a nature poem expressed through over 40 text fragments and black and white artworks of tree branches and woodland. Themes explored include trees as markers of time and nature as healer. The pamphlet compliments the entr'acte from the Poetics of Pain album – a single track recital of the poem, which forms part of the second CDr alongside Act 2.
Act 2:
Forget-me-nots (64 pages) is a full colour collection of original analogue and digital collages, paintings, drawings and mixed media artwork. Some have featured as album artwork for Heavy Cloud and other artists. Themes explored include ruins and fragmentation, texture and erasure, pain and healing, interior and exterior landscapes, and the act of looking and creativity. The pamphlet compliments Act 2 from the Poetics of Pain album and comes with a hand-stamped CDr of 'Forget-me-nots' in a paper sleeve.
