The process of design is very much on my mind at the moment in the run up to Alchemy 2020. With that in mind I am revisiting a lot of past works, past ledgers which were created in repsonse to a set design brief.
If you have taken 'Alchemy' in the past you will most likely have seen this work before. The fact I am looking at it again gives an indication of it's worth, it's relevance even after 17 years.
The brief for this work was simply 'decay'.
As you can see I focused on that word, I defined it, I ran it through a thesaurus, I worked with words and text as my foundation.
My aesthetic may have changed dramatically since this work was created, my approach to design however hasn't.
