Pine for Pine (an awesome semi-coherent blog by an obviously kingly dude from the Philippines) has a brief post about an artist who etches phrases onto the blades of knives. After poking around a little, I was able to find the whole series, and I sort of love them:
I can basically only read these as a series of Shining-style domestic terror rationalizations, which probably says more about my own psyche than I’d care to examine, but I’m always psyched on art that conflates language and poetry with visual mediums. Worcesters might remember the best exhibit to like, ever circle through the WAM was the Ray Pettibon/Ed Ruscha show called The Holy Bible and THE END (some works from it if you scroll down here), which had the same sort of appeal to me; deliberate narratives shaping the way we understand imagery is really my forté.
Some other seriously gorgeous work by Zohar Nir-Amitin can be found on his website.
