On Kawara

Simple, yet very effective. I feel that the Date Prints and postcards by On Kawara have some significance to the latest project as working with the idea of my Grandfather's alzheimers seems to make dates quite important. Days that once held significance in his life may longer do so as his memory deteriorates, unless he has some sort of visual reminder of the date in question and the reason why it's important then it would probably just pass him by. I also like how the letters are all the same size and font etc, I like the uniformity of the whole thing as it makes me think of routine and structure which is becoming more and more important in my Grandfather's every day life.
