Annex Gallery Exhibition

Visual Sonnets

by Laura Wetherington

Exhibit Dates: December 2 – 27, 2025

Artist Reception: Wednesday, December 3rd from 6-8 PM

Poet, teacher, and editor Laura Wetherington transforms the traditional sonnet into visual art using collage and design software. Drawing on the mathematical patterns within the sonnet form, she incorporates right-angle triangles and explores the overlooked structures of book design—margins, page layouts, and the conventions that make a book feel familiar.

Her work invites us to notice the everyday habits and cultural traditions we take for granted, while embracing poetry as a practice of pattern and continuous experimentation. Wetherington is currently creating new visual sonnets and collaborating on a book-length project with poet Hannah Ensor.
