Noun Verb Series 1

Red. orange, and pink planes of a mechanical hand reach down to retrieve something important. Possibly in a mean way. It’s definitely not optional. Slide comes off a little more gentle but there is definitely some coercion going on.
1. Draw and 2. Slide
Fllat yellow, orange, pink, and red rectangles reach in and fold forward, down to the right and curling up toward you from out of the blue-green field. Or is the big plane closer and the pink and red curl around to the back?
3. Fold and 4. Take
The angular planes begin to enclose a space like strips of paper folded to make a concave polygon. Wish still has hope, with its greens and pinks; Worry is mostly worried, with blues that fade into each other, in a field that’s yellow yet somber.
5. Wish and 6. Worry

Artist Support Pledge

#artistsupportpledge

Supporting Artists and Makers

Artist Support Pledge is a generous culture and dynamic economy in support of artists and makers. 

The concept is a simple one, post images of your work to sell for no more (can be less) than $200 (£200, €200, A$300, C$300, ¥20000) each (not including shipping.) Anyone can then buy the work. Every time you reach $1000 (A$1500, C$1500, ¥100,000) of sales you pledge to buy another artist’s work for $200 (A$300, C$300, ¥20000).

So make a pledge and post your work using #artistsupportpledge and follow the #. Keep updated on news and further opportunities @artistsupportpledge and www.artistsupportpledge.com
