| dc.description.abstract | The artist's statement: Both my design and art practices are inspired by the little things: moss, shadows and light, mold, the microscopic, cracks in a sidewalk, etc. While my art usually draws specifically on natural imagery and experimentation with abstraction, in design, this manifests as an interest in pattern, collage, attention to fine detail, and exploration of stark positive and negative space. Constantly growing in my artistic practice, I apply a wide spectrum of experience and techniques to design. In my work, digital processes are extensions of physical mediums. Process proofs from my film photography work were useful in collage elements for a vinyl packaging design, while a lithograph layer became the base for a book cover. Most recently, my workflow includes creating digital designs, replicating them as paper cutouts, and scanning the physical copy back into Photoshop and Illustrator to achieve a real tangible quality. Medium supports the validity of a design choice by adding an additional layer of meaning, which I embrace often in my work. I bridge multiple processes, creating a conversation between mediums and translating artistic practices into communicable designs, through poster, editorial, and illustrative design. | |
