Simple, bold imagery embellished with meaningful but somewhat unclear text.

 Recently my work has become increasingly text based, although I still find a strong importance with images. As well as text playing quite a large role in my work, I have been using simple bold, and often high contrast, imagery; I really enjoy creating a relationship between text and image, specifically complimenting simple images with short statements. I have found that using text gives the viewer an extra nudge towards the ‘theme’ of the piece, or equally does the complete opposite and draws the viewer away from the subject by undermining logic. I have been investigating this relationship a lot, and have been using group crits and reactions from peers to determine what, where and when certain aspects of this relationship are either significant or irrelevant.
