Autocomplete / Collaboration

Autocomplete: Untitled. A drawing by Kevin White and Danielle Foushée.
7.5 x 9.5 inches. Crayon, ink, and twine on matte board.

My friend from our days at Cranbrook, Maya Drozdz, invited me to be a part of a new exhibition she’s curating, called Autocomplete: A Collaborative Coloring Book Exhibition at Visionaries + Voices Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio. The exhibition will be on view from May 10 to June 29, 2012.

The Visionaries + Voices Gallery provides artistic and cultural opportunities for artists with disabilities, and builds an inclusive environment where all artists feel valued. They value a world in which artists with disabilities not only create and share their works of art, but also are able to learn, work, collaborate, exhibit, teach, and celebrate with other community members.

I was given the black and white drawing you see above, created by artist Kevin White, and was asked to “complete” the piece. I added the color and the twine to finish it. I always love these kinds of works. What two artists create together is completely different from what each of them would’ve done alone.

Special thanks to Maya for including me in this project. It has been really fun to be a part of it!
