Violin

This project was truly hideous.  We had to describe the rhythm of an instrument in 16 panels, each measuring 16 x 16 cm. 

We could only use the name of the instrument and one type face.  We had a choice of five instruments and 3 fonts. 

I chose violin and didot. 

We weren't allowed to use computers or any graphic software.  It all had to be done by hand - collage and photocopier.  So each shape in my final piece is part of a letter - v i o l or n.  I'm now very familiar with didot.  It's a really great font!

The panels were folded like an accordian so it was important that they could be read as a book as well as a frieze.

These are the panels that made up my final.

 

This is the final.  But it looks a little wonky here. 

I'm so so glad it's over!
