Signage is a fundamental tool for conveying information, guiding individuals, and facilitating seamless navigation within our world. In an era where information overload is a constant – well designed signage serves as a vital filter, offering clear concise messages which transcend language barriers. In my practice I want to throw this idea on its head. I want to question the ways we interpret this overload of information. Some people just say my work looks like James Turrell’s. I think his work looks like mine.
