How we, as artists, perceive the world affects that which we create. Do we observe the world through rose‐colored glasses? Do we use blinders? Do we dare take a look at the unfiltered reality of that which we experience or perceive? We may look through a microscope or telescope. We may peer through a wide lens, or perhaps instead focus on the smallest detail. We may interpret our vision using pencil, paintbrush, sewing or knitting needle, crochet hook, dye pot, loom or technology. Our work may be large or small, portrait or landscape, realistic or abstract, flat or 3 dimensional. In whatever approach we choose to take, the created work portrays a glimpse into the worldview by which we see. Do we like what we see through the lens or must we alter it? The work submitted will reflect one’s perception, as it is filtered through the unique lens of the artist.
