I'm thinking of Alma Thomas's pictures composed of blocks of color and infused with references to both dressmaking and urban life, and of the sewn, pieced and stained painting-sculpture hybrids of Al Loving, Sam Gilliam and Joe Overstreet, with sources in tailoring and quilting.
The Modena exhibition, arranged more or less chronologically, opens at the Palazzina dei Giardini with some of Albers's early glass pictures, composed of broken bottles and other detritus retrieved from a local dump in Weimar, held together with hammered lead and wire, strikingly back-lit here during the day by the abundant natural light in this baroque garden pavilion.
To provide for aspects that enable augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and attention to the specific needs of the children, the game also uses pictures composed of a set of symbols called picture communication symbols (PCS), which were extracted from the "free communication board" of Project Amplisoft, free software for alternative communication (http://www.ler.pucpr.br/amplisoft/).
