THE HISTORY OF WRITING: A Linguistic Exploration
|
This piece traces the development of writing. There are 12 sets of markings and alphabets, from latest to earliest, top to bottom:
The monotone languages are layered as if in an archaeological dig, the undermost layer supporting the next through time. The alphabetical layers form a shaped vessel. The decorative design emanates from the vessel and is based on Moroccan patterns and colors. On the outside edges of the piece is a painted background going from green to blue to brown. These gradated colors represent light and sun, growth and plants, the water table and the earth. Materials used: ink and gouache on rag illustration board. The original piece is 30” x 22”. Digital prints are available in various sizes. |
