Call and Response

Here is more work from an ongoing series between visual artist Wennie Huang and poet Ed Go.














Ed Go and Wennie Huang Word Image Collaboration. This shows Ed's textual response to Wennie's image from the previous week. The repeating texts are blue (for sky), porkchop (in red), and earth (which also reads as heart).












This work shows Wennie's response to Ed's textual work from the previous week, where I locate the letters b-l-o-o-d from (bl)ue and p(o)rkch(op) - the upside down p of porkchop reading as the letter "d". I've inscribed this response by piercing the paper as a tracing isolating these letters in the same position as they appear in Ed's textual work.












The final image shows Ed's response to the previous week's work where she shrank two 8 x 8 drawings 50% and copied them side by side as if they were pages of a book. Here, Ed has added a crossword puzzle background, implying a setting, using some words from those drawings he had previously extrapolated from the Internet, and linking them with new words.
