Projects
  • Phenomena
    PhenomenaSemantic Saturation is a phenomenon where the repetition of a word dilutes it's meaning until it simply becomes a sounds to the reader or speaker. I created a foldy zine which repeats the word "phenomena" in various forms. I used tracing paper as a means of being creating visual repetition by being able to see through each page.
  • Interpretations of X
    Interpretations of XAfter seeing Jamie Hewlett's The Suggestionists exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery I became interested in his use of the letter X and I wanted to further explore the symbolism behind the letter. I produced a hand made book with a screw-post binding with digital and mixed media imagery.
  • The Word is Not the Thing
    The Word is Not the ThingInspired by Alfred Korzybski's philosophical theories on General Semantics. He believed that there is a difference between the signifier and the signified and that one word can be used to represent multiple objects, people and concepts. I created a screen-printed poster which unfolds to reveal the various applications of the word "Blow". The poster is held inside a dust jacket.
