Because of some materials choices, this drawing ended up a bit weirder and maybe muddier than I might have hoped. But it has its own charms. I did want to do something with the applied grid that counter-balanced the cathedral photo from the original page and I like it in that respect.
I also like the words that popped into my head that are broken up in the lower grid cells.
I’ve read a few of things recently about the use of words in artwork—how they can be a distraction and lead a viewer towards an interpretation. I think of drawn words as a form of mark making that happen to suggest meaning. And I also feel that words and imagery together don’t necessarily compact meaning or stifle emotional impact.
In the end, it’s how each person forms their own associations between the elements in an image that might allow it to have subjective meaning.
