Artist Statement:
Concerning the assignment of turning text into a surreal composition I choose to work with fonts scanned from a magazine in a couple of the pieces (2 and 3). The magazine I choose, ESQUIRE, has an interesting and bubbly font that I thought would translate into a cool look after being warped.
In the compositions I attempted to stay out of the center of the piece with a focused item, etc. The goal of this was to use perspective and blur effects ignorer to create a sense of movement and to force the eye to move throughout the piece and not stay in one spot for to long. I also played with the concept of making some of the text unrecognizable as letters. This really added to the surreal effect but may have gone to far losing the impact of presenting the alphabet to the observer.
Each composition was created separately and not intentionally built off any of the others. Even though this was the case I seemed to have primarily chosen lighter pastel influenced colors and the complimentary colors of red/green as well as purple and yellow. I like the combination and the colors probably aligned with my mood during the time of creation.
