[Artist sharing] from Jeannie
"Telephone Game"
這件作品對我來說就如作品名稱所說是一場有趣的遊戲。 每次我把圖畫傳給我的讀者，我都非常期待他們的回應，因為每每出來的回應都和我所想的有一定的出入。 當我們閱讀文章，書本，畫作，藝術品都有千百種方法和可能，這正是我想透過作品帶出的意念。親愛的讀者，你讀到了什麼？
I enjoy doing this project. When I passed each drawing to my fellow readers and waited for their response, I was just like a children waiting to open a present and see what's inside. I see many possibilities in doing drawing and illustration, and that's what I wanted to share with my readers. Reading a book, reading a drawing/ and artwork can be in million ways and possibilities. Dear reader, what did you see in my work?

平日有留意身邊的街道文字嗎？它們看似簡單，但其實經過細心的考慮，清晰又富美感地傳達訊息。但有設計師發現，近年的路牌相較以前的遜色。大家不妨來一場字型散步。
Do you pay attention to the words around our city? Like the one in road signs, they look simple yet well-designed in order to convey clear message. However, a designer pointed out that the recent road signs are not as beautiful as before. Let's take a walk with typography!

當我們談到漢字與英文的文字革命，不難想到他⋯⋯
徐冰，當代藝術家，積極參與與文字有關的創作。他以漢字的思維寫成英文單詞，以下是結合兩個文字體系所組成的「新英文書法a-z」。
從「鳥」一字便可看到他如何把英文字母演化到漢字的概念之中。
在第三篇書法中你又解讀到甚麼？
When we talks about revolution between Chinese and English characters, we definitely think of a significant leader...
Xubing, a contemporary artist, actively involves in making artworks about words. By using the idea of Chinese characters, he combined two language systems and wrote a series of "New English Calligraphy A-Z".
In the word "bird", we can discover how Xu converts and reforms English vocabulary into strokes and a different appearance.
What can you decode in the 3rd image?
