An original, framed "word" from "The Word Project" (first come, first served- gets to pick from among the 95 single-image "words" still available.

Signed poster from a showing of The Word Project art. A signed copy of "The Word Project" book! An original, custom word/image of a word of your choice! (A word not already part of the Word Project; and keep it clean- nothing racist, vulgar, mysogynistic or thersitical- naughty is okay but that is as far as I will go; my take on the word in question. I will retain © of the image.)
Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
A Buckeye by birth, a Sawyer (resident of Saugerties, NY) by inclination, a Kingstoner by necessity.
Artist, designer, bricoleur, mythologeinist; knitter, needlepointer, acrostic-fiend, reader, and word-lover.
Artist's Statement:
My current work is about animation- or the possibility of it, color, texture, and how creativity can flourish within constraints. Animation in the sense of bringing alive inanimate
materials or objects, how figures articulate. Playing with color and texture for the total joy of giving
those rods and cones a real workout. I enjoy the challenge of working within a certain level
of constraint, limitations in the form of a restricted palette of materials, size limitations, thematic unity; it forces me to be more creative and makes the process a game-and an enjoyable
one at that. I see my work as little theaters, each with its own proscenium, each bristling with
potential.
