COLLAGE ON VIEW
A Thousand Words: Len Davis
at Holzhauer Gallery, Northwest Florida State College
in Niceville, Florida, USA
22 January-1 March 2019
Len Davis’ “A Thousand Words” series explores the interplay between the figurative and literal term consisting of 100 8″x5″ collages incorporating drawings of peoples’ faces executed on text-filled newsprint pages. When looking at a person’s facial expression, you can tell how they’re feeling at that moment whereas text, words, verbiage and recognizable text/identity marks explains it for you. Either way, we’re provided a mental image from both, which illustrates the fact that A Picture Is Worth “A Thousand Words”…illustrated on A Thousand Words.
