Drawing Words

SKETCHBOOK DRAWINGS

It interests me that words are symbols and pictures at the same time.

pentimento (noun)

: a reappearance in a painting of an original drawn or painted element which was eventually painted over by the artist

I draw and then erase words, again and again, attempting to create ghosts that move between meaning and images.
