17/4/2016 0 Comments Portfolio Updates!My two most recent projects now have their own portfolio pages! - Take a look to keep up-to-date with a perhaps unforeseen jump into 'The Diagram As Art'... An investigation into the very essence of human life and how - or if - it can be visually described.

Art school can be seen as a kind of spaghetti junction of art practices. Tutors shape and direct the flow but in the end each student will always have there own individual passions propelling their work through the maze. However, at very special moments practices cross at a junction and here a new road altogether can be formed. For myself and fellow student Kamile the result of this has been a fun little book experimenting with the connection between lettering and drawing - the current fuels to each of our practices. In order to test the strength of meaning in both text and image we each bought a small sketchbook. I fill my pages with lettering and she with drawing, then we swap and work on top of the others with whatever comes to mind in reaction to the content supplied. This process is repeated regularly each time with new surprises at the return of the books. The questions remaining are: Has the other understood your meaning? How long will it take to fill the books and how can we retain motivation with the project? Will it ever become difficult to come up with new designs? How will this mini-project and collaborative experience effect each of our practices? [Ps. Some of these images show just the first stage without development from Kamile.]
