Camden artist Jo WOnder is one of our guests for National Poetry Day and she will be showing her stunning inter-active Ophelia-in-Progress Art and Poetry project, using some of our Purple Poets and TAD members as live Ophelias. It's an inspiring project, and it's exciting to watch a work-in-progress. Jo's Ophelia makes you want to write poems! Her 'Ophelia' is painted in bacteria (part of a project for the Wellcome Trust) and is modelled on the iconic John Everett Millais painting of Elizabeth Siddal as Ophelia). You can see it on YouTube, with the poems.

Fascinating stuff. I like the idea of growing your own art.
