Room to Rhyme is an essay by the poet and Nobel Laureate, Seamus Heaney, inspired by a speech and published in book form by The University of Dundee (2004). I was commissioned to produce artworks to illuminate the text and my response took the form of three 'Poem-Houses' - 3D illuminated box-constructions, 'housing' poems from quoted by Heaney. The book, designed by Dave Herbert, with images photographed by Douglas McBride, has become a collector's item.
