Shawn Murenbeeld from Touchwood Design's latest piece "The Letter" was selected to appear in the 17th Applied Arts Photography & Illustration Awards Annual and showcase exhibit in May 2008.
Shawn's personal piece "The Letter "was to create a mood to capture the last grief stricken moments of a father having received word that his son has died. Shawn created many uplifting whimsical pieces in the past and this was an attempt at despair. Not an easy task with wood scraps, popsicle sticks and house paint. The point was to say very little with very little.
