“Searching for nodes of human commonality across distance,
time and cultural diversity, I hope that my work can
connect people using recognizable threads drawn
from our shared mythologies.” —Sarah Stone

My time as an illustrator has made me such a fan of iconography –from typography to sacred icons. I appreciate the the subtleties of unspoken language. I ask all new design clients a handful of questions that help me get to know them & their design style. In answer to the “serif vs. sans serif” question, one of my recent artist-clients responded, “Sans serif. What am I, a lawyer?” Perfect.
Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Sarah Stone employs icons, both common & obscure, to open a dialogue. Does the need to ask & discover open up the possibility for understanding? Isn’t understanding the foundation for everything we want? What do you see in this work?
