Inspired by John Baldessari's word paintings, I wanted to take his idea further in to the sound realm and created these sound paintings (above). Using onomatopoeic words the idea was that the viewer reads through them, hearing each of the sounds in their heads, then the "SHH." creates a weird pause, which I feel adds a slight humour to the piece too. I tried singling out the "SHH." (below), the initial idea being to take it around places and see how people reacted, but then given that it's on a canvas, I thought people might just put it down to being a weird art thing and dismiss it, so some re thinking is it order.
