arouse a multitude

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on a page of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. Green and purple construction paper has been collaged across the page, obscuring the majority of the text. A yellow construction paper sun decorates the top of the page. The remainder of the text is predominantly drawn over with black pen scribbles. Select words and phrases have been left uncovered, creating a new poetic message.
