Sid Freeman
uses calligraphy to make art. As a simplified example, if she were to paint an
image of a ball of yarn, it would look like a ball of yarn from a distance; yet
when examined up close, one could see that the image is actually composed of tiny
calligraphic words, written repeatedly, such as “knit, knit, knit,” until the
image of a ball of yarn develops. From this start, experimentation led Ms.
Freeman to using relevant words and symbols to create visual stories with
calligraphy. Her most recent work, “Anchored Innocence,” depicts the story of
Romeo & Juliet. To create it, Sid combined calligraphy, color, and historical
references and symbols to achieve a masterful piece of artistic calligraphy. Ms.
Freeman refers to her new work as “image poetry.”
Sid's show kicks off with a reception for the artist on Oct. 1st from 5-8 pm, during
Jerome’s Saturday art walk. Refreshments will be served. Music provided by Christy
Fisher and Frenz. Show runs until Nov.30.
