Free speech artwork on a free speech platform. Nearly done..⚒️
For this project I took my inspiration from George Carlin’s “7 words you can’t say on TV.” I wanted to make a statement on the nature of free speech and the ridiculousness of censorship in general. And I just thought it would be hilarious to carve “Profane” words in such a traditionally formal way. These words are hand carved in salvaged slate, and the small lettering proved to be a huge challenge and learning experience.
I’m still deciding whether I’ll gild the letters, but it may not need it. I still need to finish honing the final surface and touch up some of the letters.
More updates and artwork to come!🙌
