THE CANVAS PROJECT 3:

Each person interprets the same word differently. Some factors include native language, geographic location, age, and general view of the word.

We're creating a visual encyclopedia where each artist is asked to visuall interpre three words that are assigned to them randomly...onto 4 x 4 inch canvases. A visual encyclopedia book will then be created...An exhibition will be held at The Brooklyn Art Library on December 3rd, 2010.

The words I received were: unpleasant, undousual (which I took to be a typo of undo and usual), foreclosure. I did a Google search using the four words and came up with the Dysphoric citing referenced above.
