He also doesn't sign it. His reason is that he doesn't want anyone to be influenced by what a title or his name might evoke or provoke. When I mentioned this to someone recently, his reaction was, how arrogant (he in fact used stronger words).<br /><br />I do poetry. So, I like titles and usually don't have trouble coming up with them. I think it would be tough getting poems published if I resorted to calling them all "Untitled". <br /><br />You're an artist with a poet's eye. So, maybe titles need to matter to your work, too?Maureenhttp://writingwithoutpaper.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-11140812572757609982009-11-12T05:46:16.220-08:002009-11-12T05:46:16.220-08:00Love this work Randall.

I have a notebook and I keep it around when I read and I jot down words and phrases that stand out to me. This is easier than you think because your art work is usually in themes. I have headings on pages e.g. beauty, passage of time, old objects, calmness etc. If it is easy to sort a work/ phrase I do it and otherwise I put it in random list section for all the good ideas I may have later. I personally like one word titles so that makes it a bit easier. I also use phrases but not as much. I wrote a post on titles on my blog. It's probably sorted under reflection on practice.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.com
