A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words: Work by Erin Smith
Tuesday September 28, 2010

Australian artist Erin Smith must like both written and drawn material. The artist completes pieces created from letters extracted from journals of automatic writing, which is then digitally printed and hand drawn with archival ink onto paper.

Smith writes us, “Using individual letters I have built new images in response to deconstruction, creating a visual journal that explores the idea that words can have many different meanings and be associated with numerous objects or images.

 

“In creating an image from letters there will forcibly be large amounts of space and it is often this negative space that defines and informs the meaning. Often it is what we do not say rather than what we do say that defines our identity.”
