OurSpace: Bringing Progress In2 View
When I think of “progress” I think of growth, renewal, illumination and collaboration. It seemed fitting then to encompass these elements in a compelling surrealistic visual that brought together the idea of progress and our collective endeavour of better-thinking and advanced insight that is the vision of the In2:IN philosophy. To evoke this empathy in the viewer, I used symbolic elements where the Eye represents insight and awareness and what is brought into view is Fire – which in ancient Greek philosophy represents energy, passion and creativity which are also core to the In2:IN philosophy. Fire represents human progress: the ability to control fire has made it possible to generate heat and light, to cook food, and to extract and treat metals. Fire is symbolic also of renewal, for out of the ashes emerges new growth and renaissance of thoughts and ideas. Holding the beacon of passion, energy and illumination is the silhouette of a Hand, representing joint collaboration, empowerment and application. The organic nature of the image is further echoed in the curvilinear design emerging from the corner of the eye where the curlicues embody growth and evolution. The vibrant colours bring all the elements together to visually stun the viewer and capture the passion that is present when all of us endeavour together.

2004 Artist: Timothy Daszko - Brochure
Timothy Daszko of Santa Clara , California created our signature artwork for our 2004 Third Annual Forum. He offers this explanation: “This work draws upon surrealism and abstract thought which enables creative freedom for the incorporation of analogies. The use of vibrant colors and movement makes the artwork eye-catching and flowing, reflecting the thought patterns of innovative thinkers. The theme of this year’s Forum, "Making a Difference From Where We Are," creates a spectrum of ideas, but most significant is the impact of human thought. From the earth and its resources we draw upon our surroundings and inspirations to create. The human figure represents this idea. The lack of a detailed face represents the elimination of the "individual" when it comes to problem solving and innovative thought. The world is directly and indirectly affected by thought. Ideas directly impact actions; the hands represent the application of ideas and the actions that result from thought patterns. The indirect impacts result from the flood of thoughts that flow out of the head and puddle on the shoulders of the thinker. These puddles might be representational of shared, loose, inactive, or untouched ideas, which weigh on the arms and linger until utilized or discarded.”

2003 Artist: Tony Heald - Brochure
Forum Artist 2003: Our cover art was created by Tony Heald, an international artist working and living in the United Kingdom in Barnsley, South Yorkshire . Tony chose Circus Clowns as the cover piece to remind us “to laugh at ourselves (and our endeavors) whilst retaining our optimism”.
