2 from BAMBOO DART PRESS

Diaries and Letters shows the constricting space of pandemic-era living. With the addition of writing around each drawing, artist TM Givens creates a thick boundary that encases the artwork in an unesay narrative. The words are descriptive, the observations mainly hopeful, the frustration real and persistent. By incorporating writing into this series of drawings, Givens offers insights into daily life in a turbulent time.–from the introduction to Diaries and Letters

**********

From: Still Playing with Words,–An Impromptu Prologue Words belong to no one. They are all robbed, orborrowed if you prefer, from the babble of our contemporaries and the bibles of our forbears, who don’t own them to begin with, but overheard or transcribed them from idle banter, news reports and the chant of itinerant bards. Exhalations burdened with meaning, they are forever being utteres, stutteredand forgotten, trashed and mulched to fertilize new foundations.–Peter Wortsman
