Title: Concepts and Practices II
Materials: Cardboard, Stencils, Montana Paint
Dimensions: Large Size
Concept:
This project explores language as a visual form—where text transcends its communicative function and becomes image. By using stencils and spray paint on cardboard, the work emphasizes the physicality of letters, their spatial relationships, and their potential to convey meaning beyond words. The process involves layering, repetition, and scale to transform text into a dynamic composition that operates as both language and visual art.
Key Ideas:
- Text as Form: Letters and words treated as shapes, patterns, and textures.
- Materiality: Cardboard as a humble, impermanent surface contrasts with the boldness of Montana paint.
- Process: Stenciling introduces precision and chance—overspray, imperfections, and layering become part of the aesthetic.
