I Need Your Help to Preserve a Lifetime of Work.
There’s never enough time. My name is Glenn Dennis (aka Jason Savage). I’m 76 years old, and for more than five decades I’ve devoted my life to creating a new form of applied, conceptual art - a fusion of aesthetics, cryptography, and interactive problem-solving that I call the Trithemian Web™. This work is the legacy I’ve spent my entire adult life building. But I’m running out of time to share it with the world. It’s a legacy born from Family, Curiosity, and a Lifetime of Persistence.
My journey began in childhood, long before I discovered cryptography. My sister Valli (right side of the opening photo) was always at my side - the same sister who comforted me when I flipped my little tractor on the asphalt drive in 1953. My mother, a stenographer on the Nuremberg War Crime Trials, taught me discipline and precision. My father, an OSS sergeant in Burma teaching hand to hand combat, taught me courage, even though he passed before I could truly know him. I was thirteen at the time. Everything I’ve created - every encoded line, every hidden message, every piece of this new artistic language - carries their influence. This exhibition is not just about my work. It’s about honoring the people who shaped me. Sadly, all have now passed.
Why This Matters Now
My health is declining. My balance is worsening (peripheral neuropathy). My strength is fading. I’ve had to turn down carpentry jobs I once took with pride. I no longer have the physical ability - or the years - to keep pushing forward alone. If I don’t organize a solo exhibition soon, the legacy I’ve spent fifty years building may well disappear with me.
My Medium
I’m a digital artist producing applied, conceptual art featuring vertically presented but horizontally read graphics that conceal a cipher. Some pieces include hidden images. My technique has never before been done. This is absolutely new to the art world.
After encoding a piece by hand, I design the cryptogram on my workstation. To get a physical version, the graphics file must be printed. I chose the premium LumaChrome process by Nevada Art Printers, the only method that truly captures the depth I envisioned. This printing methodology is very expensive. For example, a six foot by six-foot LumaChrome costs $2,875. I now have eleven completed digital cryptograms of varying sizes. This may be my final opportunity to unveil the physical counterparts to those digital files. To learn all about me, my work, and its fifty-year history, please visit my website.

What Your Support Preserves
Your contribution doesn’t just fund an exhibition. It preserves:
• A 50‑year artistic legacy
• A new form of applied, conceptual art that would otherwise vanish
• A tribute to my sister, my mother, my father, and my loyal companion, Zeus the Cat.
• The final chapter of a lifelong pursuit that I can no longer complete alone
You’re not just helping me. You’re helping ensure that this work - and the story behind it - survives.
How You Can Help Right Now
Donate: Every contribution, no matter the size, brings an exhibition closer to reality.
Share: Unfortunately, I never built a social media presence. Your voice can reach people I cannot. But along with you, I’ll give it my best.
In Closing
It’s a winter day in 2026. The air is crisp. The sun is low. And I find myself thinking of that little boy on his three‑wheeled tractor and his sister, believing he had all the time in the world. Time is no longer on my side. But with your help, my legacy can be.
Thank you for helping me unveil the physical versions of what I envisioned more than fifty years ago.
