In 2012 I made 3 of these small Signature Cluster paintings. As the title suggests, they were made simply by writing my signature multiple times in clusters. I’ve worked with signatures, the often lauded marks of artistic authenticity and branding, periodically for a a long time. I’ve signed generic products for sale as part of installations (along with videos aping infomercials), made giant signatures with computer cut vinyl lettering, printed signatures across large inkjet-on-canvas banknotes, and scrawled signatures repeatedly across large sheets of black paper to resemble landscapes. I’ll work with “the artist’s signature” again at some stage.
