‘Create a head-to-toe look inspired by the theme typography’
“In typography different factors play a role in making a text readable and transparent. Even more important than typeset is composition and spacing. In particular inter-spacing, which refers to empty spaces in between the words and lines that create structure without noticed visibly.”
In my creation I play with the concept of interspacing, by overlapping layers with both transparent and opaque parts. The combination of different levels, colours, and prints creates an optical graphic effect. The striped print suggests a circle that actually disappears towards the side. To me a circle is the most perfect shape, which I create within the illusion and expectation of the mind and empty spacing.
The pvc sculpture is organically shaped following the female body lines and flows into a hard, geometrical shape above the bust. The juxtaposition of these aspects underlines the stylistic and emotional diversity of typography.
