Note from Artist
This image depicts frustrations of mobility impairments from both the impaired individual and those who interact with them. The words are packed tightly in a monotonous font, color, and size to convey emotional tension into a visual element. The various words and phrases are all synonyms for the words 'go' and 'move'.
Description of Art Work
The image is a 16" x 16" square and is one of three in a set. The background is white and is filled, from top to bottom, in lines of plain, black text. The lines of text are words, not sentences. All of the terms are synonyms for the words, 'go,' 'walk,' and 'movement.' In the top-left-center of the square is the focal point. The phrase, 'Move it' is represented in the same block font as the other words, only 4 times larger and it is bright red. The tight situation of the terms on the page create a visual tension not unlike that experienced daily by those who suffer from mobility impairments.
