What Did They Say ?

The following is a short video about a project which has become an extremely important component of my thesis study. I recently submitted this piece to the Rhode Island School of Design Awards of Excellence Competition. The statement which precedes the video describes my thoughts and ideas about design in relation to my thesis work.

I strive to develop graphic expressions in the combination of methods and work in such a way that these methods inform each other, in every step of the design process. Merging methods and creating a push and pull allows for tension to initiate design solutions. Finding a common thread in my work as a designer has led to the question of whether or not the process of designing graphic form can in fact become the formal graphic solution. Designing and working in this way has provided the inspiration for making and developing case studies, such as the following project, [ What Did They Say?] By merging different design methods and processes, I have been able to achieve surprise and serendipity in my work, while revealing the process of making in the form. Creating work which oscillates on a spectrum between multiple points drives my thesis study and feeds my impulse to organize and interpret information. I believe the design process can become the design solution.
