_i exist by implication_

As part of my explorations on the relationship between the disciplines of architecture and graphic design, a current work in progress delves into the subject of representation thru typography. Here letterforms (which designs are dictated by the medium) can be texture, but at the same time a message, which at the same time is a texture. The revelation of this meaning arises from the interaction the user has with the work. These are process photos. The project is half way in the process.

Enough water. It needs to dry out now.

Image as message. Message as texture. Image as texture.

Now we have to wait until final stage.
