Barbara Bux made drawings for Benita Joswig’s sleeping boat texts. She took the atmospheric images of the poems and used them to create her own pictorial spaces on paper.
The sleeping boats that Benita Joswig wrote over 17 years were messages. Like a twin that is different and yet similar, a vehicle that transforms experiences, depicts, absorbs, breaks up, arrives.
By bringing drawing and poem together, something new is created in the book: a space is offered into which other people can enter and embark on the journey in the sleeping boat.
