thalia



born in Greece in 1952.
family moved to Australia two years later.
worked as a secretary in Melbourne.
began visual poetry based on Pittman's shorthand early and created her visual poetry exclusively from it.
does not take the easy and phony route of using shorthand as a code for writing texts, but creates new images from the notation.
fixates on words and brief phrases; hence the word or two from which the poems exfoliate become emblematic or herraldic.

work presented here includes enlarged shorthand characters on which each poem is based.
