As I said in my last blog post, I am a Yes-girl rather
than a No-girl. Saying yes has got
me places so far. I have almost
always regretted saying No (although fortunately for me I have not said No that
often).
This piece plays with the word No in nine different
languages – from top to bottom, they are: Czech, Japanese, Danish/Swedish, Portuguese, Hungarian,
French, Russian, German, Welsh. The
Yes is of course in English, and emphasized by both size and brightness of
colour.
The piece is 9” by 27” and I have used fused appliqué for
the letters.
And here is a close-up detail:
How fun Alicia! I admire you, I want to become more of a yes-girl like you! Who knows what great adventures one misses when we say no...
ReplyDeleteIt can be frightening too, Lisa-Marie, but I found that it has been always worth it...
ReplyDeleteA great angle, Alicia…..it reminded me of a song my son had when he was little - something about traveling round the world and they listed no in many languages. Isn't there a language that has no word for the word no? Regardless, yes is definitely more fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing us so many Noes in different languages! It's very interesting and the first letter of all of them are N!
