Dreams of Pencils

WELCOME TO DREAMS OF PENCILS

The pencil is a fundamental instrument in an artist’s toolbox. Simple yet versatile, there is much potential for creativity–from swift sketches to exquisite pictures and everything in between. With every mark made, a picture develops and puts forth a peek into the creator’s ideas and imagination.

This suite celebrates the pencil and brings its familiar form into focus. Ordinary details such as the pencil’s hexagonal barrel, graphite core, sharpened tip, and eraser end are reimagined.

The artists invite you to lie down inside the pencil case. As you unwind, become the pencil and let your imagination run free. With a touch of ingenuity and inspiration, who knows what wonders you might dream up?
