I am using text a lot in my work.The first piece photographed above reads 'anothernightofbrokenglasstheworkingfightbacktherulingclass' and features lyrics to a song I wrote last year.I have researched other artists working with text such as Christopher Wool and David Shrigley.I think the power of text is very under rated.If you look at some of the work by artists such as Barbara Kruger or Jenny Holzer you will often find text and not much else.Minimal and to the point, usually with a socially or politically aware undercurrent, these artists have mastered the 'less is more' approach to hard hitting art.
