If you don’t already know Jen Bervin’s work, check out her textual practice her weaving at Gridspace, Silk poems, and the Dickinson composite series.
Also, thanks to Stephanie for bringing the opera Written on Skin to my attention. Here is a snippet from the Hyperallergic article about it: “The scenes evoke medieval triptych altarpieces, and the set and costumes (both designed by Tom Rogers) recall the rich palette of red, blue, and green often found in medieval art. Some of the props, on the other hand, could be out of science fiction. The show avoids the challenge of showing intricately detailed manuscripts on stage by portraying them as glowing tablets, as if each was an entire book made out of light. This clever effect helps to bridge the gap between the main narrative and the futuristic frame, and quite literally enacts the age-old metaphor of a book as a lamp overcoming moral and intellectual darkness.”
