Within my practice I am currently engaging in text. Alongside Richard Long and his textpieces, Ellie Harrison and her blog; I am also inspired by the work of Ed Ruscha. I like the piece above of Ruscha's as it's quite a poetic statement. Below is a photograph of some experimentation with text.
I created a sunset on a piece of cardboard with oil paints, as it is what I have currently been exploring. To then add text to this piece, I used metal stamps and ink to engrave with. Although the ink isn't abrupt, I like how it has merely left indents within the paint.
This is a quick video of an interview with the man himself.
