additional poem

Cement and mixed media on canvas, 10 x 14 in.

The previous five 'white' poems will come to rest in the reading room
of a London hotel (if they're accepted!).

Thought I'd do an extra one, as it's often good to have a choice :)

Un-titled

Oil and graphite on canvas, 14" x 24"

Giving a piece a title, points the viewer in a specific direction...or reinforces the visual information ~ even in representational pieces, like a landscape, or a still life, or a portrait. It narrows down the field of possibilities often fixing the piece in time or location.
A bit like waking up in the morning, with all of the past firmly in place.

A young child is not hampered in this way...there is a sense of wonder, a fresh seeing.

So, giving a piece the title 'Untitled' allows the viewer to explore without constraint. And importantly, the mind is allowed to come to it's own conclusions ~ there is no possibility of being wrong!

Whether or not the piece is liked or not, is no longer the issue.
