Stephen Powers in Syracuse

Hot on the tail of Power’s community ‘working art’ in St Mary’s he is furthering the Love Letter Project in upstate New York this time.

This text was taken from a letter to the commission and beautifully sums up Power’s process:

”
Once sign painting as a trade became extinct, it became interesting to me as a medium for art. I learned to paint signs as they had been painted for generations, but instead of the commercial concerns of most signage I used the letters and colors to talk about love and life. The font I employ was prized by sign painters because it is clear and versatile, qualities that serve me well when I am talking about complex things like love. Beyond that, my use of the sign painters craft is about the importance of the hands, heart and head being present in the work I make. The work we are calling on to renew the West side must possess the same qualities.
