This is a piece of art by Able Parris called 'Letter Collage' that went against everything Beatrice Ward was about. Ward's main philosophy was that type was meant to be read and to be read clearly. Parris transcends this school of thought and uses type as a texture for the the background of her collage.
This piece of work was a refreshing thought to me when looking through the same opinion of Warde's work. I do agree that text can be used in other ways in order to create a pattern, but only when the audience is right and the text is not necessary to the message. The message in this piece of work is the text all jumbled up, it's the statement that the letters altogether make.
Getting on with the essay and making good progress with it, hopefully by the end of the day I will have all my notes and thoughts collected ready to try and write a conclusion and hopefully the rest of the essay. I am going to try and write the main points on post-it notes and have thoughts from there. This was some advice given in the essay seminar yesterday.
