ARTIST PROFILE

Mark Niehus is an Australian Poet, Artist & Filmmaker seeking to discover new ways to apply his experimental ethos to engage audiences and push the boundaries of his art.

LIFE BEYOND THE PAGE

"Writing for me is a very visual experience resulting in vivid imagery which easily translates to film giving the poem another life beyond the page and provides another layer for me to guide the audience’s interpretation of the text."

POETRY

"I write quickly and instinctively, allowing an interplay between my subconscious and conscious mind until the narrative appears."

ART

"Presenting Poetry in different

forms and in unusual contexts

can provoke interest in people

to be more open to the text."

FILM

"Combining poetry with

digital art, video and music

I create outcomes that

capture and expand the mood, rhythms and meaning

of my writing."
