Abstract Typography (Self Publishing)
This workshop intends to create more familiarity in considering typefaces —what are their key features and characteristics?—generating other work from established but disrupted forms, re-organizing their lyric and nature in new compositions. Using a similar process (stencil); we had to dismantle, disconnect and disrupt three typefaces to form three new images on A2 paper.

Cecil Touchon is a painter, performance artist, collector, draftsman, photographer, and curator. But it is through the collage work that he has made his most lasting mark. Touchon's paintings are abstractions based upon typography. Using the techniques of collage, he reassembles portions of letter fonts from billboards and printed material into pure abstractions that transform verbal language into a form of visual architecture.

I began to cut out my stencils of certain characteristics of different fonts.
Using the stencil, I painted across to create a new composition.

After the workshop, I wanted to experiment with deconstructing a typeface and rearranging them into a new composition.
