Help Create the Shapetionary!

What is the Shapetionary?

Its a visual index of objects.

It started from looking at the dictionary and wondering why some words are 
illustrated and others aren’t, then thinking it would be interesting to 
illustrate the whole dictionary, or all the object nouns...then organize 
them by shape.

So I extracted all, or most (aprox 9500), of the object nouns, now I am 
setting out to get them illustrated by as many different people as possible. 
I am interested in our subjective/collective understandings of objects.  So 
far over 400 people are participating, I estimate that between 1200-1500 
drawers are needed. I am an artist living in Toronto Canada, and am seeking 
artist world wode to participate in this project.

If you are interested in illustrating some words, email 
velvetbicycle at hotmail.com I will send you a list of 6-8 words, along with 
complete instructions.

All contibutors will be acknowledged.

Thank You
