Calligraphic Painting
What are the implications of using letterforms as subject matter in painting? Can an image be created that enhances the meaning of the words? Is legibility important? Do the letters have to become words?
These are the questions I think about when beginning a painting that includes words. Some of these have been abstract, others illustrative. All of them, however, explore the relationship between
WORD & IMAGE.
Although not all of these paintings include letterforms, there is a narrative to my work, a story behind the image.
