PORTFOLIO B-SIDE:

This was the first accordion fold print I worked on.  It is a metaphor to relate the degradation of the built environment to something common for all - rotting fruit.  It asks the reader to understand compose [collection] vs decompose [simplification].  The prefix ‘de’ as it relates to [sign] and [compose] enhances the meaning of each and requires a deep philosophical stance on which direction or path brings forth true meaning.  I guess it was a way for me to prepare my mind for graduate studies without having any preconceived areas of study.  Side ‘A’ was a collection of hand-drawn works from undergraduate studies while side ‘B’ was looking closer at the meaning of design and why it resonates with a better understanding of our world.
