About this work

This piece is a stack of loose, hand-drawn letters floating on a pale background. The letters overlap and tilt, some almost falling off the page. Black ink stands out against a soft cream color, like words caught mid-air. The artist played with how letters look when they’re not neat or lined up. It’s like a puzzle where the pieces are words instead of shapes. Next, check out Matt Mullican to see how he turns simple things into art.
