I have been working on a lot of handwritten pieces recently and this seems to be the capital/lowercase combo that most appeals to me. The choosing is completely arbitrary but is something along the lines of the W. J. T. Mitchell "What do pictures want?" line of inquiry. The Edward Hirsch quote is from a poem he wrote about Agnes Martin, an artist whose work I absolutely adore. Her minimalist approach was absolute: so pared down. She hand-drew all of those grids. As such, I will practice my letters in the hopes that my hand becomes more steady & my eye more refined. What have you been practicing lately?
