by talking board

Watercolor, typewritten text on index card 
5” x 3”

A delicate, light brush line loops over itself repeatedly, forming layers of pigment, lifting partially off the surface at one bend, and filling much of this card. The phrase, “by talking board,” interrupted by a typo, sits at the center. Talking boards refer to a number of devices that help turn automatic writing processes into language, the most well-known being the Ouija board.

Blue Watercolors (Framed Selection)

2019
Watercolor, typewritten text on index cards
11.625” x 36.75”

A selection of five Blue Watercolors float in a vertical, maple shadow frame. The cards read, from top to bottom, Papyromancy, “divination by the howling of dogs,” a string of overtyped characters creating a single, indecipherable typewritten line, “divination by brain shape and personality type,” and Daphnomancy.

This selection of Blue Watercolors is sold framed and mounted as is. Substitutions are not permitted.
