a.n.t.. Ant.


While playing with the idea that one lone ant is insignificant and quite pointless , but yet when these lone ants come together they can be a powerful and interesting thing i made the connection of how letters share this aspect.  How a letter when on its own is meaningless but when put together with many can be very meaningful .
 I did some drawings while attempting to show this similary between isolated ants and letters. I used the word "ant" to represent the actual body of the ants and wrote it repeatedly on the page in the manner a colony of ants would operate.



I decided to cut relevant words out of a newspaper as those words were meant to be part of a bigger picture. I then arranged the words on a page to convey the same concept of the insignificance of a lone ant or letter. The words appear to be organised and in sync with the pattern they are creating, however some of the words have been cut into separated letters,  these have gotten scattered in a a seemingly more random pattern.
