‘Spoilt for choice’

‘Spoilt for choice’

Random ‘moments’ in vintage design across 9 plywood tiles. 

Painted in freehand in super vibrant sign acrylic. 

Each tile captures interesting elements of 2D design and their corresponding colour suits.

Viewed as a whole, the work comes to life as colour and shape reverberate and radiate throughout.
Visual fondant. 


This work is 9 x 20cm X 20cm plywood tiles adhered to a 60cm X 60cm X 5cm cradled panel.
Finished in hard wearing gloss clear and signed on the reverse.
Wired and ready to hang.

***Artwork is not framed, but is optional at an additional cost

Originally schooled in Sign writing and later Scenic Art, in 2010 I began exploring and developing techniques in the treatments of typography by means of ( for example ) painting , sanding, masking and the overlaying of type and letter shapes. 

The original concept of my work was inspired by various weathered sign written signs I had seen mostly high up on the sides of buildings in Melbourne's CBD and also on walls of it's surrounding inner suburbs.

It was around this time that I started developing more of an interest in vintage graphic design, package design and vintage typography, and whilst my explorations into letter treatment for the most part remained the same, the focus of my work broadened as I began to consider layout and design, spacial awareness and colour (and it's tones )

By implementing these new concepts and coupling them with my ongoing explorations into typography, I was able to lay the foundations of the style of work that would follow and which continues to be a feature of my work today.
