My initial idea for my piece starts on the basis that just by putting your piece on the wall, you’re already communicating something, and my skeptical outlook on “communicating through art”. I don’t think it should be a main concern or a responsibility for artists to have to communicate something through the things they make. I want to make a piece that talks about that, but at the same time negates itself. In a way I want to make something that talks about the inefficiency of communicating through art, while at the same time contradicting myself and also trying to point to a bigger picture. Does this make sense? My idea for the actual piece was to take an excerpt from an essay I read about communication not being the main objective in art making, transfer that to a canvas most likely by way of painting, but have the text be incomplete by having it run off the page. I also wanted to spraypaint it black on top (but have the letters still be readable, just harder to read) and turn it upside down. I want it to be a pain in the ass to read basically. My idea of turning it upside down is akin to someone turning a cross upside down. I want to play with the idea of defining something by its opposite. I hope this makes sense, if not please let me know and I’ll try and clarify.
