No Good No Good Good

While looking through visual diaries from his time living in Los Angeles, Luke Chiswell discovered old working titles he’d once written for future works. Recognizing that process is such a significant element of his work, Chiswell memorialized the notes, creating screen prints on paper and canvas. The resulting series “Working Titles” rejects the concept of starting and finishing an artwork by depicting trial, error, and moments of development. Each note features text in Chiswell’s signature script, a form of abstract mark making that pushes the boundaries of language and legibility.
