A Study

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on page 168 of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. The background is predominantly collaged over with gray and purple patterned paper, with black brushstrokes covering the majority of the original text. Select words and phrases have been left uncovered, creating a new poetic message against the collaged background.

“I fear,
I may one day
you alone
one secret,

you will
wonder I survive I will confide
you shall take

I know

I now endure. Memory
brought madness
I was

from the
human

endeavour

I remained silent.
