Kate Coningford | “Coming Apart”

This media file is attached to: 1st Annual One College Virtual Art Student Exhibition

A quote from William Gibson reading "When you want to know how things really work, study them when they're coming apart" is written in a blocky style on multiple lines filling the page from top to bottom. Lines of text alternate between white letters on a colored background, and colored letters on a white background. The words "coming apart" are tilted and staggered to suggest movement. The color ranges from red orange at the top of the page, to red violet at the bottom.

This project was hand lettered using a dip pen, masking fluid, and watercolor in a style called Robot Lettering. I chose a quote by William Gibson and explored color, positive and negative space, and movement.

Black ink was used for lettering. The words read, you can't say all lives matter until black lives matter. Numerous skin tones fill in the letters and spaces with color.
