California-based artist Annie Vought is passionate about the written word and the impact that handwriting has within a historical context.
Vought says, “A letter is physical confirmation of who we were at the moment it was written, or all we have left of a person or a time.” As we shift into modern day communication styles like emails, text messages, instant messages, and Twitter, the intimacy, personality, and visual beauty of penmanship slowly withers away. As an artist, Vought works to preserve the tangible, handwritten letter. This collection of sculptures includes recreations of notes and letters that Vought has found, written, or received. She copies and enlarges the text onto a new page, and meticulously cuts out the negative space with an Exact-o knife. The final results are these fragile, yet somehow strong, flowing lines of letters and words, sentences formed together by others and kept intact by Vought. Annie Vought’s website via [Wicked Game]
