Thomas Broomé Only Uses Words to Make Rooms in 'Modern Mantra'
By: Alexander Lam - Published: • References: & designtaxi Using
only words, artist Thomas Broomé created a series of uber-
descriptive room drawings called 'Modern Mantra.' Each room that
Broomé drew is composed only of words and nothing else.
Furniture, walls and rooms were all drawn using the words that
describe them. For example, the table was drawn using the word
'table' while the walls were drawn with the word 'wall.' With
this restriction, Broomé went to create detailed rooms with
lighting and perspective.  The amazing illustrations in 'Modern
Mantra' were created with only ink and paper. As a result, each
drawing is monotone. However, Broomé still managed to make his
drawings realistic with varied spacing between words to show
differences in light. The words for the wall were spaced apart
while the words on the tapestry were clustered closely together.
