Glossary investigation – Quiver

Unbalance: Quiver

1490 Caxton Eneydos

“Dido quyvered & shoke of grete rage.”

Dido

Red haze
Choke in throat
Tears threatening
Incoherent thoughts
Bitter barbs
Disbelieving
Frustrated
Shaking


Unbalanced

Aeneas

Notes: I was drawn to this quote in part because of mention of Dido in Float, a work by Anne Carson that we discussed in the Creative Research group.

I made the copper wire form in while in Hobart with the group, as an illustration of balance. Representing Aeneas it turns with freedom around the pivot. As Dido, options are curtailed, movement constrained.
