The Liberty Bell - Word Mosaic Art Print

Word Mosaic Art Print by Curtis Epperson

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ARTWORK

The crack became famous. The words are what made it matter.

The Liberty Bell is instantly recognizable for what is missing from its perfect shape.

But Curtis built this one from the ideas that have gathered around it.

Liberty. Justice. Equality. Courage. Heritage. Hope. Peace. Unity. Voice. Vote.

Cracked But Not Broken.

Silent Witness To History.

And the phrase that has echoed far beyond the bell itself:

Let Freedom Ring.

Curtis spent 22 hours drawing 108 different words and phrases into this American symbol.

From across the room, you recognize the bell.

Up close, you discover what people have asked it to stand for.

INSIDE THE ARTWORK

I wanted the words to carry as much weight as the shape.

Lettering detail from Liberty Bell.

The Liberty Bell gave me a list filled with history and ideals.

Liberty. Justice. Equality. Courage. Heritage. Hope. Peace. Unity. Voice. Vote.

Then there were phrases that seemed especially powerful inside the image itself: Cracked But Not Broken, Silent Witness To History and Let Freedom Ring.

I used 108 different words and phrases and spent 22 hours drawing them into the finished bell.

The silhouette is familiar immediately.

My hope was that the closer look would slow you down long enough to read some of what that silhouette has come to represent.
