Fred Eerdekens is an artist who create artwork through the play of light and shadow. He arranges the position of everyday objects so when light hit it on a certain angle, words are spelled out. Eerdekens' choice of materials ranges from wires, cotton balls, food container, to household plants. The characteristic of the objects are taken into consideration to create variety in fonts and beautiful typography.
View without the correct lighting, the metal wires, the piece to the left appears nothing but a total mess. It would just be wired bits sticking out of a wall. However art doesn't have to be beautiful or even make sense. People enjoys art because they can relate to the work or understand the message the work sends out. In this case the "message" is given in a literally through typography. Fred Eerdekens advises people to take notes on what is around them, suggesting that little thing like how an object is place can tells us how the person who placed feels.
