I visited an wonderful show at the Chicago Cultural Center called 'Write Now' where artists were invited to submit works related to written words and texts as well as actual letters (from the alphabet) as points of departure to create conceptual interpretations. I was inspired too and attempted to create my own abstract compositions. In two of the pieces I cut out shapes from the the word ART and collaged them into compositions. The third piece was composed from the word inspires. It was an interesting challenge and I'm looking forward to doing more of these soon.
