Sometimes I like to operate within in the tension & harmony of two opposing worlds. Connecting & exploring within the grey areas; searching for unsuspecting beauty hidden within the nuance. This project was about creating a personal identity – I focused on a constant and remerging theme within my life of finding the balance between two opposing worlds:

The organised and the natural.
The geometric and organic.
The digital and analog.

I like to play within the tension of these subjects in many areas of my life from music I listen to, the way I dress to my design sensibilities.

“combining warm calligraphic curves with a clean, machine-like sensibility, bridging the organic and mechanical genres” Johannes Breyer, talking about Prophet typeface (Dinamo Foundry)

Image making

Fusing the organic natural with digital manipulation. Here is a selection of personal photos. Including a frozen puddle, incense stick smoke, glass of water and mountain range from above. Heavily processed, each image is treated with a similar method of inverting, monotone then finally a touch of ‘glitch’, in an attempt to play with the unpredictable tension of these two contrasting worlds.
