I painted my third set of rectangles today, which will feature my original writings. The pink is a gradient of dark for the writing with the most anguished tone, while the light pink signifies the light - hearted was of the sort of ‘conclusive’ writing in the little series. I chose to write in silver sharpie because I love the reflective quality of the metallic; it forces the viewer to get close to the work and really evaluate it to read the writing, but it’s not impossible. I was nervous to completely freehand the words, but I didn’t want to write in pencil first because it’s very difficult to erase marks on this type of painted surface. I planned out the size of my writing on a separate piece of paper before setting to work on the final medium. I am pleased with the straightness and uniformity of my writings.
