Artist's Design Statement
Winning Bid: $1,750
My ox project, titled Oxford, highlights Hopewell Valley’s history. The ox is almost entirely covered with a mix of words, punctuated with a hidden message (the word “community”), marked in a contrasting color. The words are all instrinsic to the Hopewell Valley region. The title “Oxford” is meant to refer to the renowned dictionary.
A brief, but not inclusive, list of keywords includes:
- Hopewell
- Borough
- Pennington
- Stony Brook
- Toll Gate
- Farming
- Revolutionary
- Bucolic
- Heritage
- Titusville
A hashtag (#OxfordHVAC) is applied as one of the keywords to add an interactive element to the project.
The lettering was applied with acrylic paint, covered with a protective clear coating.
