Welcome to A Letter a Week 2014, a project that began in 2010 and is primarily about having fun, experimenting and having a regular, small project to focus on each week.
The aim is simply to:
The other criterion for 2014 is that ONE alphabet has to meet the criteria of "Place” – that means the alphabet references place in some way, but is still presented on the square. It could mean the alphabet describes a place; is photographed in a place; reflects a place; tells a story of a place, a special place or the place where you live or work…
The other alphabet is a free choice alphabet, but still needs to meet the basic requirements.
Each alphabet must be turned into a final piece which could be used for possible publication or exhibition – that is, you must put all the letters together into a final piece of art. If you are interested in joining us, please contact me (Fiona Dempster) and I will get you set up.
- Write/create a letter a week
- Creating 52 letters
- Which must form 2 x alphabets (that is, not 52 x the letter ‘A’)
- By the end of 2014

Tanks Fiona! I am excited to part of the project this year!
ReplyDeleteSorry, typo. I meant thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to be here too, thank you Fiona! 'Place' is a challenging notion and I love it. Place, home, belonging, mean a lot to me. Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to be back this year ! and Place is a wonderful idea
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the challenge - what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI am also looking forward to getting started on this new ALAW. Thanks Fiona X
ReplyDeleteThankyou for the invitation. I am excited to be joining, I just have too many ideas at present and need to make some decisions and get creating.
ReplyDeleteMerci Fiona de poursuivre ce challenge. Je pense avoir compris la notion de "place", mais je vais essayer de trouver quelqu'un qui traduise l'anglais mieux que google...pour être sûre.
ReplyDeleteFiona, thank you to pursue this challenge. I think I understand the concept of "place", but I'll try to find someone who translate English better than google ... to be sure.
I've really enjoyed ALAW 2013 and am looking forward to two completely new alphabets
ReplyDeleteThis is a great project and I'm really looking forward to being part of it. The artwork done in 2013 is inspirational
