Meg Hitchcock
I really fell in love with Meg Hitchcock's work. I liked the use of taking already written words, cutting them up, adjusting the shapes to create a beautiful pattern with text. I have taken a page from an old book and I have rewritten the passage by cutting up the text and creating a poem from that certain page.
The Satanic Verses: “Repentance” from the Koran (detail); letters cut from “The Satanic Verses” by Salman Rushdie, 21 x 19 in, 2012
Throne: The Book of Revelation; letters cut from the Koran, 44.5 x 30 in, 2012
Throne: The Book of Revelation (detail); letters cut from the Koran, 44.5 x 30 in, 2012
This next artist is Alexander Korzer-Robinson. He uses a book as a starting point and removes all the text leaving the images. The images combined create an image as a whole. I want to try this! The results look lovely!
