'Where the Line Breaks' is the title of our curren

'Where the Line Breaks' is the title of our current show at Tremenheere Gallery, running until 21st April. Poet Katrina Naomi came up with the title as a part of her role in curating the show. It's an inspiring and open theme, refering initially to structural line breaks in poetry. Broken, breaking lost-and-found lines are integral to the rythmns, processes and forms of visual and three-dimensional art; seen live in different ways in the pieces included in the show.

Katrina will be giving a talk and reading a poem that she has written about the show on 14th April starting at 2.20pm. In preparation for her talk, we asked her a few questions about her work. This is the last in our series of three running up to Katrina's talk on Sunday. The sun seems to be shining too!

What's your desert island top tune (or 3)?

Desert Island top tune? That's going to change every day but off the top of my head, I love dancing so I'd want to have some Sister Sledge, probably 'He's the Greatest Dancer' (Tim will think that's about him! ha ha). I also love Led Zeppelin and would want the live version of No Quarter, can I have most of Kate Bush's The Kick Inside LP too? And everything by John Coltrane? I could go on...

How do you think poetry and visual art connect?

There's so many connections between visual art and poetry for me. Whether we're a poet or an artist, we're both trying to distil something - whether that's an emotion or a thought - and capture it in some way, or even just use it as a starting point and see where it takes us.

How did you begin to write poetry Katrina?

I began to write poetry by accident. I'd always hated poetry at school, I found it elitist and dull. I began writing short stories, which were pretty rubbish. I went on a weekend course and we were asked to write something 'from the heart', the tutor said I'd written a poem. I said I couldn't have done, because I hated poetry but it was set out like a poem. She suggested I went to night school and to begin reading poetry, which I did.

What poets have influenced your work?

So many poets have influenced me and continue to do so. Probably the poet who has had the greatest influence is the US poet Sharon Olds. When I read her first collection, Satan Says, I knew I wanted to write poetry. I was lucky enough to go to the States and meet her some years ago. They always say don't meet your heroes. But Sharon Olds breaks that rule. She was amazing. Took me to the pictures after I'd interviewed her. We had a beer and chips together.

More tomorrow.
