Learning Agreemen Questions

Why is it hand rendered type?

Because the subject mater is a reaction to everyday life and experience. If the typography was perfect (ie. computer generated) it would loose its relevancy and become numb; therefore the imperfections make it come alive.

Why is it so important that it is my writing?

As I am finding my place with the world I want my work to reflect this personal journey

How important is the poetry?

The poetic form is not important, it is more the lyrical approach to the writing that I want. Not everything has to be a poem. But writing poetically helps to articulate my thoughts and opinions.

In what way am I reacting?

It is very much a comment on modern popular culture and society. Subversive and critical; my opinion of the world kept open for interpretation. The news, TV, people, shops, songs, everybody's life interacting and crossing over with one anothers and mine leaving an imprint.

How do I want other people to view it?

I want my work to be presented in a poigniant wa that shows it to its best. Scale plays an important role, larger text giving more of an impact on people. However I am also interested in the idea of smaller scale portable work (zines etc) so I feel that experiments with both formats will be neccessary.
