The premise of “2Craigs” (a collaborative venture that brings together photographer Craig Cutler and illustrator Craig Frazier) is both simple and profound: each Craig contributes 52 words, which are then randomly selected as an assignment – a single word each week. The year-long project challenges the duo to interpret it, without prior discussion or insight into each other’s creative process. Both artists craft their interpretations, which later culminate in a side-by-side presentation of their works.
For instance, the prompt “Liquid” led to two distinct creations: Cutler’s photograph captures the fluidity and motion inherent in liquids, while Frazier’s illustration offers a more abstract representation, emphasizing form and texture. Such juxtapositions invite viewers to explore the multifaceted nature of seemingly simple words, enriching their appreciation for both mediums.
