Peaceful Soleutions: Collaborative Montage

Foot for Thought is collecting 1000 images of decorated feet, as viewed from the soles, to be used in a 2010 Global Art Project for Peace montage. Artists, both amateur and professional, are invited to decorate their own soles and those of others. Paint, markers, pen and ink, henna, sharpies, or other means may be used. You may incorporate your name into the image.

Once the artwork is completed, photograph the feet, surrounded by a black cloth, so only the soles are visible. Please be creative in both the marking and posing of the feet. Send a vertical jpg file (yourname.jpg), no larger than 6"x4" 300 dpi, to footforthought@gmail.com Write GAP feet in the subject line. Include your name, address, and email address in the body of the letter. You may also write a paragraph about yourself and/or your vision of world peace.

There is no fee to participate. You may submit up to three images per participant.

Send all information and inquiries electronically to footforthought@gmail.com
Subject GAP feet.
The deadline for receipt of images is December 31, 2009.

While there is neither a guarantee of inclusion, nor compensation for those images used, we will try to use all images in the final montage. Everyone submitting a footprint and an email address will be sent a digital file of the completed montage sometime in mid-2010. At that time, you will also be notified as to the exchange partner. In the past, our art has gone to Iraq, Senegal, Germany, Australia, Canada, Russia, Ireland, India, Mexico, and the US.
