Visual code-switching
I am working on a new piece right now, hoping to finish it up in time for my father's birthday. It's a first marriage of the two voices I have been exploring. I'm not sure it will work, this visual code-switching...
Hmmmnnnn... code-switching makes me think about language. I speak, think, dream in, read and write three languages, all quite fluently (well my written French is gramatically abhorrent). I can move back and forth easily between English and French, English and Spanish, less easily between French and Spanish. I work regularly in both Spanish and English.
So, I have at least two voices. Can't I have 2 voices in my artwork? Do they have to exist in the same body of work?
