Type-related puns sewn on t-shirts
What is your type?
My first Group Exhibition and all my art (sweat and tears) was sold out!
There is so much about Type that I love, all those serifs, ligatures, kerning and....puns. Brainstorming about what to do for this Group Exhibition I immediately knew it had to be around Type. The idea grew and grew and grew and suddenly I was spending my evenings with a needle in my hands, something I never imagined.
"What is your type?" is a set of t-shirts with simple and non-sense sentences that portray a specific typeface. The idea is that you should wear the one that best suits your character. The t-shirts are 100% handmade.
I handpicked the fabrics myself in the local market, designed a simple t-shirt model and asked a tailor to replicate it on those fabrics, the tag was also unique and handmade by a local lady that worked with cross-stitch. The letters were cut and sewn in felt by me, all of them in the specific font they referred to.
