Bold, colorful cap-sized words sandwiched together to make a collection of individual short statements that concisely speak about/against the human behavior. This is an artwork that the audience must read, and perhaps read between the lines, horizontally, and/or vertically. These painted brush words are eye-catching like news print article, but have their own original font style and the chosen words are simple so a vast group of audience are able to read them. Interestingly, at the bottom right, the term "dis-en-gage" is broken up - the three syllables are emphasized, while the rest are three worded phrases.

Hi Linda aka Dear Wendy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the an image of Edgar Heap of Birds' work.
I think you do a good job describing most of the physical qualities of the work. I would like to read more about what you think the words mean to the artist.
I would make some grammar changes so that what you have might read something like this:
"Bold, colorful cap-sized words sandwiched together to make a collection of individual short statements that concisely speak about/against the human behavior--This is an artwork that the audience must read, and perhaps read between the lines, horizontally, and/or vertically. These painted brush words are eye-catching like newspaper headline, but have their own original font style, and the chosen words are simple so that a vast audience can read them. Interestingly, at the bottom right, the term "dis-en-gage" is broken up - the three syllables are emphasized in this case, while the rest of the phrases are three word phrases."
Would you please make a trip to the UCI library, check out one of the books on Edgar Heap of Birds, and bring that book to class on Thursday, July 9th...
Thank you
