There is something about sticks at the moment in my art practice - simply because I am surrounded by them.
The wooden letter/wooden stick combinations I shared recently were intended for outside, to stick into mud or the ground. However, once the wood glue had dried I started to see other possibilities too.
They started to look like something I could print with - so I gave it a go.
This worked well and I enjoy that with one dip of paint I could create multiple prints which each varied as the paint lessened.
However, it was at that point that I realised, that while perfect for printing, the letters were the wrong way round (which is why they are perfect for printing!). But this means that they would not be the right way round for installation and the letters would appear back to front.
What a thing to realise after those days of gluing sticks to letters! I guess this just means I will have to do more printing with the existing stick letters, and more gluing of sticks onto more letters - this time the right way round - or the wrong way round - the opposite of whatever it was I did last time!
