The Poetry Series is an ongoing journey – a long, winding, digressing, illusive, curious, strange, unsettling and beautiful story that has no end. It’s not unlike the childhood game where you fold a piece of paper into sections, allowing a fold for each friend to blindly write a segment of their story.

The Poetry Series is an ongoing journey – a long, winding, digressing, illusive, curious, strange, unsettling and beautiful story that has no end. It’s not unlike the childhood game where you fold a piece of paper into sections, allowing a fold for each friend to blindly write a segment of their story. The parts to that story can be read separately and would probably be more intelligible if you did.

We hope you enjoy stanzas 1 through 13 of The Poetry Series.
They are only the beginning.

Spencer Harvey and Lloyd Harvey are sister/brother filmmakers and photographic artists born in Sydney, Australia.
They came to renown for their screenwriting work when they won an Academy Nicholl Fellowship in 2016 from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. They have since been commissioned by Chernin Entertainment to write a half-hour television series based on their experience in the Australian art world.
Their mastery of storytelling is intrinsic to their photographic and video work, which has surreal, subversive, strange and often magical narratives featuring strong female subjects. They have been exhibited in the National Portrait Prize and also shortlisted as semi-finalists in The Moran Photographic Prize.
They are currently represented by United Talent Agency and 3 Arts Entertainment in the U.S.A. and by Harvey Galleries in Sydney.

Harvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
