| 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 scouring the English
dictionary for interesting words that called up 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 elaborate, complex, and
time-consuming — and, I hope, the better for it. I am presently
just over half-way through the Alphabet series, and expect to finish
before the end of 2008. Tucked somewhere in each scene is the title
— sometimes a little hunting is required. |
