This is a good question asked at the Talk. I am not quite sure what got me into text at first. I will have to think about that a bit more…
But I am interested in not just the actual ‘letter’ itself but the space around the letter as one can not exist without the other. This is a different take to the work of New York artist Jenny Holzer who projects white English text [taken from an author’s Polish poetry…more comment to make here from my point of view] into a dark gallery space and relies on the meaning of words to communicate a message. This is a metaphor for community where we all serve a purpose to create the large and small picture.
