'just plain offensive'
another one of my favourite words, although it is usually put in print as f ***or f - k.
well, this artist happily uses it in his text-based art, so there - fuck you
I was once told it stood for - fornication under control of the king, maybe a myth, such as addidas (all day i dream about sex)
the artwork reflects the interplay of text responding to a chosen word or theme connected to the hidden perpendicular placement of a connected word. the intention is that the viewer has to search the text to enable them to locate the ‘hidden word’, giving that ‘ah ha’ moment; once the hidden message has been deciphered, it will always be seen, hence the phrase "once seen".
the manipulation of typography drifts across the surface, creating cryptic messages that describe facets of the selected word
