Playing about

Part of an abstracted Caslon question mark. 




Back to School!! After a long summer working in a gallery, a very nice gallery none the less, but I was itching to get back to the studio. For a while Ive been obsessed with type, and hand lettering... which is somewhat of an intimidating field if you don't know much about it. I've been studious, however. My work seems to situate itself somewhere between graphic design and illustration/art; I certainly don't have the precision of a graphic designer, but my practice circulate around this domain.
 The pieces above are drawn directly from Caslon typeface found in the case room at GSA. Then broken down and abstracted further. Experiments so far- to be made into colourful screen prints tomorrow ... where I think I may strip them further away from their classical origins.
