Biography

My research explores cross-sections of typography, writing, literature and visual arts. My work challenges conventional and habitual forms of text, and make them strange by often highlighting areas that are unseen in our society and human behavior. In my research I extract language from everyday situations, such as discussions, news, and any other material and fragment this to my design work. use everyday life as a source for materials. I extract and appropriate and rewrite.
