Dialect is an exploration of text in graphical form. The collection began with a specific constraint: a string of characters would be the main input. This simple constraint triggered a journey into form, colour and minimalism. There is also a deep sense of nostalgia in some of the outputs. Colours intentionally fade into each other and sometimes fade away almost entirely, like an old polaroid photograph. Dialect can be defined as a particular form of a language which is peculiar to a specific region or social group. Similarly it is my hope that there are particular outputs in this collection that speak meaningfully to the individuals who own them.
