Concrete poem: Elements of the landscape:
A series of studies of the landscape presented in a pictogram / and reductive form. Reductive meaning: simplified / stripped back.
In the 1960's art schools became influenced by cybernetics and systems. This impacted on the development of 'Basic Design' and resulted in a reductive style in art and design which also became popular in the graphics, ceramics and textile industries.

Nine letter words.
9 Letter words - a sculpture.
A model / idea for a larger sculpture.
The viewer is invited to solve / read the 9 letter words.
The work is inspired by a Paul Steven's lecture: The absence of clutter.
“In the 1960s and 70s, minimal and conceptual artists
stripped language down to its most basic components: the word and the letter.
Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, Carl Andre, Lawrence Weiner,
and others built lucrative careers from text-based art.
Meanwhile, poets and writers created works of minimal
writing--visual texts generally shorter than a sentence.”
The piece is about the disrupted dynamic network of language
and the way the brain reads it.
”The absence of clutter invites us to
reflect on how we read, see, and pay attention.” Paul Stevens.
