Great philosophers and surrealist thinkers have always challenged consciousness and composition through the practices of prose and thought, form and aesthetic. Working within the discipline of graphic design, I co-opted the agenda of André Breton’s 1920’s Surrealist manifesto to explore these ideas through unusual juxtapositions.
I have curated and juxtaposed various artistic works with the composite experimentations I conducted. Through these outcomes, I aim to deconstruct these polarities and perhaps find something interesting – perhaps even humorous, in the grey areas between them.
This process also led to the creation of a pictographic typeface, with multiple variations using some of the found objects from the experiments. These letterforms are used throughout my collection of experiments as both a visual accent and a nod to the greater theme of surrealist thinking.
