“Communicating through shorthand is my art. Gregg Shorthand is a phonetic writing system developed in the late 19th century. Its usage has declined greatly with the advent of technology. I create a type of urban iconography by using shorthand words and phrases as an abstract gestural form. The form’s meaning provides a narrative abstraction on the canvas. At its most basic, shorthand is a series of elliptical figures and bisecting lines. I use those figures and lines to express my thoughts and feelings. I am inspired by words, emotions, culture, activities of daily life, and current events. I envision my art to illustrate a larger issue, a culture, or an idea that the viewer can relate to or learn from. My art is for anyone who seeks meaning from abstract art … and for anyone who does not.” —Stacey Mandell.
