Hi everyone! Here are a few set-up photos of some new work for the show that is up this Thursday! They are an ongoing series of black and white pieces exploring form and line and repetitious pattern work that break away from the grid.

I hope everyone who’s in the Toronto area has a chance to check our exhibit out!

Getting ready! 

{ M a t t e r , c o m p o s e d } features work by six designers and illustrators who are using their work to push at the boundaries of their respective fields. The design-based projects in the show highlight the importance of process and research in design while attempting to bridge the gap between form and theory. While the illustration work deals with cultural and social complexities through pieces that tell stories. All together, the work in ‘Matter, composed’ looks at the potential of design and illustration.
