The previous work, "untitled," is an
example of my efforts with the whole page, which includes
text and space, a method I termed at the time "designing"
the page. Although I'd previously used much of the
page space in creating, I had not focused on the whole
space of the page. I slowly gravitated to the use of
whole space of the page as a very important factor in the
creation. I also employed the space between words,
phrases and lines. At that time I was using the 8.5
x 11 inch size paper page. I began to work on serial wall works with 8 x 10 or 8 1/2 x 11 size pages to be presented side by side on a wall, or in various patterns vertically, for viewing. About six years ago, I moved toward 11 x 17 size pages with the same concept of "designing the page" in mind. These larger works were to be presented on a wall and read or viewed as one would "read" or view paintings in a gallery. As time passed, I graduated to the 24 x 36 inch paper page. The large size wall works to date have not been created in serial form although I am presently developing one creation in that direction. The latter will have more than one 36 x 48, or larger, size pages. I am not posting these large sized wall works on the website. In the past I did so but it is impossible for a reader or viewer to appreciate the larger sized works if they are displayed on the small computer screen. |
