View profile- Design Rationale
-
This book is part artist’s book, part exhibition catalogue, presenting and discussing a range of recent work by artist David Thomas. The design of the book uses a subtle and understated typographic language and a supple and casual materiality to explore ideas of impermanence, hybridity, and ad hoc minimalism. Thomas’s oeuvre operates on the level of both method and sensibility, to engage with this, I echoed the artist’s use of the brushstroke as evidence of the labour, with a publication that I partly printed, bound and collated by hand.
