SURFACE WRECKAGE PROJECT
2011
Description
As a result of many years studying typography, I also felt the urge to record recycle and re-use the created type in a way which seemed ephemeral and produced many interesting type aesthetics. This also formed a kind of phenomenology around grunge image making for me.

- As a result of many years studying typography, I also felt the urge to record, recycle and re-use type as a form of experimental image making. Tour 01 is a journey into the typographic expression of surface wreckage. These are textures of a society who has created them, recycled into an expression. They show the presence of human traces, the organic forms of environmental attrition, they explore themes of entropy and decay, and overall created a phenomenology around new working methods.
