Writing the written: text as a visual image

Willems, Heather Marie

Abstract Details

2005, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Art.

I used writing as a visual medium, time as an element, and personal experience as subject matter. In my thesis exhibition Writing the Making, I interpret the intricacies that compose the details of my life, such as the sound of the wind stealing breath, the taste of longing and desire, the scent of bleach and ink under the sun. The following paper explores how, the act of writing becomes visual material to create a poetic environment where the viewer becomes physically immersed in the mental state of writing.
