This is one of three final works created digitally using Adobe Illustrator. What you can see is the alphabet using a font designed around a series of characters.

Initially, the work was developed using only a single character, however, through the design process it changed to a series of characters for use of this work. Each character represents stereotypes, pop culture characters. Their actions were designed to encapsulate the way people are required to bend and distort to suit the requirements of society.

Inspiration for this work was taken from Michael Leunig and Shaun Tan.

The Board’s selection, Acquisition Prize 2012.
