I LOVE THIS WORK. The use of the handwriting--different handwritings--the distortion of them and the ability to alter the perception of language. "The Next Ten Things I'm Gonna Do Is Get Drunk" is fantastic. Not only the irony of the title but the large, mushed up, incomprehensible writing which gets consistently mushier and more illegible. I really like the way that the title adds to the piece. All of her titles are this way. So often artists ignore the power of the title in enhancing their work, and I like that she embraces it. In the images on her website it's hard to really get a sense of how the work looks (some of it is quite large) in person because it is photographed at awkward angles and even when it's straight on it still is hard to read because of the shadows cast by the light. Interesting thoughts of documentation come into my mind then....Also. "Get out of study hall". That one is great. Yes. Ok. I'm in love.
