Mixed Media Text Layering

Rewriting the Narrative

Use text as a material language to deepen the meaning of your previous composition. Draw on historical or personal sources and experiment with how words interact with image, space, and surface.

Description

Words carry power. Explore how to embed text into your artwork: not to explain, but to question, reclaim, or disrupt. Gather language from your research or write your own. Use stencilling, handwriting, stitching, or digital methods to layer it into your image. Let the placement and treatment of words shift the narrative.
