THE CONSTITUTION PROJECT
Artist and calligrapher Susan Loy plans to letter the entire Constitution along with the Amendments and to include the Declaration of Independence as part of the series.
Susan decided to letter our current Constitution in parts to represent the separation of powers and has completed two parts, "The Preamble" and "Article I. Congress." She is currently working on "Article II. The Executive Branch."
"ARTICLE I: CONGRESS"
Signed prints from an original watercolor painting.
Print Image Size: 15-1/2" x 15-1/2"
Print Paper Size: 18" x 18-1/2"

It took Susan Loy more than 500 hours to complete "Article I. Congress." She lettered the 2293 words of Article I, dividing it into 102 lines forming a 12-3/4-inch square. Using color change in the letterforms, she created a glowing landscape for the backdrop of her drawing of the Capitol Building. A square border in blue and red made up of the names of the fifty states and a large circle in black and brown made up of the words, We the People, The General Welfare, Justice, and Liberty surround the words to Article I.

Susan Loy has recast the Preamble in a striking geometric design in brown and black, and of course, red, white, and blue. The opening phrase, "We the People," is at the center of the painting surrounded by interlocking graphics representing "liberty," "justice," and "tranquility."
