In our exhibition, entitled 50w 50h, we were interested in examining the relationship between underlying structure; patterns and technology, and the culture that is able to emerge from those. Using flexible “neon” LED rope, we wrote on the walls, employing differing underlying grid patterns and joining angles. 4 exercises, approximating an attempt at reflecting on these larger questions.
The exhibition took place at Four Boxes Gallery, Krabbesholm Højskole.

Risky Business 3 invites you to consider Art & Design education and post-graduation through the language of performance.
Taking place annually, Risky Business is a multi-day conference that takes place within Sheffield Hallam University, for its art and design staff. At the invitation of its organisers, James Corazzo and Paul Heys, we developed the type driven identity for the 2018 iteration of the conference. For inspiration, we looked quite literally to manuals on how to draw letterforms, illustrated in step by step strokes — these strokes represented as singular stroke forms, shown separate, gave rise to the final letterforms where strokes left unjoined, for example in the lowercase s, y and n.
