How many times do we see the text but don’t read the words? In my art, aggregated into blocks of text, selected quotes are carefully arranged, and the letters shaded to reveal recognizable individuals or historical subject matter. This structure enables a visual experience when observing from afar and a learning opportunity when up close. The quotes and resulting image are inextricably linked with the quotes serving a duality - configuring the superficial image and revealing content and insight of the subject matter. If I am successful, the viewer will not only look at the work but also read it gaining a new perspective on a figure or subject matter that they otherwise didn’t have.
