(previous page)What I really enjoy about Lisa Engelbrecht's article is how she speaks about the emotional qualities that go into a piece. Yes she talks about the technical (color washes, letter and shapes, etc) but it's the paragraph titled, "Wordless Faith" that really captures my attention. Lisa writes, "Hope is also not a matter of words. Hope makes the impossible seem possible, I guess like wordless faith." A somewhat challenging and beautiful sentiment when accompanying a piece of art that is all about words.
It's fun to read Lisa's first hand account of her own process because after filming and then editing her DVD, "Hand lettering on Bali Lantern" I can see that process as I read her words. Lisa was a delight to film. She is really quiet funny and it was hard to not talk on set. She is a person you want to ask questions. You want to engage. I think this comes across equally as well in "Hand Lettering."
