Two Story
18″ × 24″, newspaper and acrylic on canvas.
I named this ‘Two Story’ for a number of reasons. Obviously, it is a two-story lowercase A. It also has more than one read; viewers often comment that they don’t even see the letter A until they have looked at it for some time (I’ve somewhat spoiled it here with my sketches and studies). In addition, it uses two media.
This was my final project for Design and Color. The criteria was to create a piece of art using strong design and color, making a statement about beauty. I know that most people take type for granted. I wanted to make a common letter look beautiful by creating it out of more common letters. Viewer response has led me to believe that I accomplished this. This is one of my favorite creations.
