The Awesome Responsibility of Titling Your Art with Fran Gardner


“Titling is the first step toward your art’s independence.”

“The title … is helping your art piece deliver your message and meaning out into the world.”

“I make my work to learn about me and my place in the world and how the world functions around me.”

“When I took them out and really began to process the imagery that I had made, it took me to a much deeper understanding of my own art-making urges.”

“It’s almost like the art came through them instead of from them.”

“Don’t put the work on Instagram and ask people what they would title it … It’s not their image.”

“The writing is your studio work. It’s not the thing that comes after—it’s your own responsibility in your studio to get this work, not only made, but prepared to take its journey away from you.”

“As a professional artist… you have a responsibility to do some degree of writing. It’s necessary to be a business professional in this art world.”
