Crosswords : Conversations in the spaces between handwritten words

Drawings in watercolor, ink and acrylic, ©2019 

I love handwriting, the curves of the letters and the spaces between. In these drawings I am writing while I listen to or read words and transcribe them in lines that cross or touch to create a woven effect. Then I play with the spaces between, outlining words, filling in spaces and finding patterns. In the end I don’t intend the words to be read at all but appreciated for the shapes they make.
