Zealously Abecedarian

This piece was done as part of a show responding to the Vancouver Olympics its the official abecedary of the games with all the words A to Zed being drawn from media about Vancouver and the Olympics. It was presented complete with references. This is the third abecedary project I've done and I'm looking forward to doing more of them in the future as it is a format I'm crazy about!

It was a low-fi and analog response to a games that was both highly technological and extremely digital. The materiality of the work, paper, paint, ink, newspaper clippings, has an archival quality that contrasts with the very transitory nature of the games and of Vancouver's perception of the games and its lasting effects on the city.

The words were all selected from media, and were chosen as what I thought were the interesting and important aspects of the games and how they impacted Vancouver as well as Vancouver's unique responses to hosting an international event.
