Author Notes:
I believe that inspiration plays a pivotal role in the journey toward becoming a successful artist. My passion for visual communication, my deep affinity for typography, and my dedication to creative expression have recently evolved into a profound fascination with discovering the inherent beauty in the contours of letterforms. For a long time, I've drawn inspiration from my favorite artist, Dane Peter Callesen, renowned for his remarkable papercut creations. This past summer, my journey led me to Copenhagen, Denmark, with the hope of experiencing one of Callesen's exhibitions. Instead, I stumbled upon an exhibition titled "SKRALD!" or "TRASH!" which presented a unique perspective on trash, recycling, waste, and consumption that I had never encountered before. The exhibit featured sculptures, graphic posters, and photographs that all revolved around the concepts of upcycling and the transformation of objects often dismissed as mere refuse. My current artistic work is an amalgamation of my inspiration derived from "SKRALD," Peter Callesen's artistry, and my passion for typography. I have seamlessly integrated these influences by crafting a typeface that symbolizes the essence of my inspiration drawn from the "SKRALD" exhibit. Through this typographic creation, I aim to shed light on the pressing issues surrounding landfills and consumption, offering a fresh perspective on these critical matters.
