The Alphabet series
is a project I started in late
2007, a planned series of twenty-six Aviaries. Each shadowbox is
composed on a different theme, chosen after scanning every entry on
every page of an (abridged) English
dictionary for interesting words that conjured visual scenes from my
memory or imagination.
I had originally expected these would be simple,
the whole set of twenty-six comprising the finished piece. But as each
Aviary developed, they became more complex and
time-consuming — and, I hope, the better for it. I am presently about
four-fifths of the way through the Alphabet series, but it has become a
surprisingly extended project.
Tucked somewhere in each scene is the title
— sometimes a little hunting is required. |
