The Art Of Lost Words
Posted March 8, 2009 – 9:00 pm in: Design
An exhibition of design, typography and illustration inspired by forgotten words. 47 participants have chosen from among the dictionary’s lost but lovely words, with an open brief to create an original work inspired by their choice. Proceeds from sales go towards the National Literacy Trust. Carefully selected artworks from a very high quality. It was a pleasure to view this and also discover that many items were sold. The visual interpretation for the word ‘diloricate’ [v. to rip open a sewn piece of clothing] by Jess Wilson was an illustration ‘20 men diloricating their tops’ based on Youtube videos which was very funny and fresh idea. More details here.
