Musings
Musings is a book that attempts to mimic the flow of the mind loosely traversing through various memories, ideas, and subject matter in an exploration of the transience of human life, and the way art and photography in particular captures people, places, and moments, but ultimately is just as susceptible to becoming lost to time as the things it attempts to preserve.
The book is 4 x 5 x 1cm in size, bound with chain stitched cotton thread 132 pp, and Risograph printed on vellum paper.

Entropy
Entropy is a modular typeface inspired by Melbourne’s Plumbers and Gasfitters Employees’ Union Building, designed by the late Graeme Gunn in collaboration with Ellis Stones in the late 60s.
The typeface explores and attempts to convey the building’s irregular yet compelling form in its top heavy design and abundant use of obtuse angles to create a structure that exudes gravitas and a feeling of immutable structural integrity.
Shifts in formation for each letter through constant rearrangement of simple geometric modules aims to reference the ever changing nature of all materials, including that which seems indestructible or immune to decay.
The type specimen shows the shape frameworks underlying each glyph as they were composed through the design process to give insight to the iterative processes behind each — perhaps deceptively simple — form.
The type specimen is 160 x 140mm in size, 112pp, chain stitch bound with waxed black sewing thread, and Risograph printed on Envirocare 115 & 150gsm.
