Crayons

I haven't used coloured pencil crayons before in my work - well, not since childhood anyway - but there are contemporary grown-up calligraphers who do use them to great effect, the famous Sheila Waters for one. So this is a bit of an experiment. I wrote out the three lines in skeleton caps, overlapping each line, and then coloured in the interstices. I quite like the way that the reading of the words is concealed. If you want to know what they are, you really have to look hard. This piece has a very dated (Bauhaus?) look, not appropriate to the 21st century. Could do better!
