The picture progresses
Lettering on a picture is difficult. Lettering or text demands reading and reading often demands meaning. Sometimes I don't want a meaning I just want a sense of history that text can give, or a sense that there is a meaning if only we could decipher it.
oil, acrylic, fabric and mixed media on panel 1110mm x 2390mm
With this I wanted the top, large phrase, to have some meaning, but not to dominate as a title. It may well become the title, I don't know yet, but for now it is reversed and partially hidden to obscure it.
