ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The series was created from an interactive sculpture called “Moveable Type” which is based off of the concept of sliding puzzle games. Each piece of the sculpture was a letter from the word Dyslexia. The aim was to move the wooden blocks to create the word by unjumbling the letters. Unique prints were created using the pieces of the sliding puzzle as woodblocks. This resulted in making an abstract image with the letters. There are still recognisable features of lettering in the print, however they are now broken and abstracted.

I graduated from the Michaelis School of Fine art in Cape Town in 2015 with my BAFA majoring in printmaking. The following year I graduated with my honors in Curatorship in 2016. Since then I have been working within the creative industry both in galleries and currently in a framing studio. Over the years I have also taken part of various printmaking, bookbinding and book restoration internships to further my practical knowledge. During my studies and in my current artist practice, books and artist-books have been one of the main sources of inspiration for my work. This is rooted in the fact that I am dyslexic and my relationship with books and words is slightly different to the average reader. I have always been fascinated by a book's objectivity, how they act as carriers of knowledge and by words as imagery rather than carriers of meaning; as I could often not access the codes within words. Through my work I continue to explore the those relationships in the form of printmaking and book arts; further developing and expanding those concepts of words, knowledge and books.
