“The Word” series is defined by a 5 by 5 grid with 25 points or dots representing each letter of the alphabet, five across and five down with y & z combined in the lower right hand corner. The title of the work is the principle component in creating the composition within a grid.  A word or words are coordinated by a dot, color, shape or direction.

In “Home Run” the baseball stitching in the letter locations of “home” are skewed to the right while the stitching in “Run” balls are skewed to the left. Any balls not part of the letters in “home run” have vertical stitching.
