“I project the image on top of the text. That way, the image appears wherever the text and the image intersect. If you concentrate on the text, you miss the image. Both components tell a story, but they can’t be read at once. You get a third reading if you examine the whole structure of the painting. Deciphering either the text or the image becomes impossible then. To activate one or the other, you have to separate out each component from the painting as a whole.”
