Abstract/Artist Statement
The Golden Rule, or the Ethic of Reciprocity is one of the most consistent and prevelant moral teaching throughout history.Whenever possible I aim to create designs that inspire viewers to action. I knew I wanted to inspire and instill a positive message through my work and within the viewer. As I began to think of potential messages and causes to devote this project to, I came to the conclusion that the most basic, universal moral would be my focus.The positivity and altruistic qualities of the Golden Rule embody a concern for the human experience. Its prevalence throughout history, the earliest versions dating back to 2000 BCE and the global span of this teaching is simply awe-inspiring.Through the use of type, I emphasize the words and overall message from each culture. The use of gold is also symbolic, as historically it is seen as one of the purest metals and an ancient measurement for value and wealth.
