trying out some words
1149, digital collage, 16″x 12″, 2009
So, here’s my first stab at some new word art. I wasn’t sure if I would use found phrases or the more snarky comments from my old pieces or write new stuff. So , I’ve decided to do a mix of everything; try out a bunch of different approaches. I went with the collaged together, ransom note style for this first collage. I like the connotations of anonymity it gives, like the statements are meant but not owned. I think I have to resolve how the imagery in these is going to relate to what’s written, but I think that will result in some fun experimenting that I’m really looking forward to.
