The ongoing Transformations project in part collaboration with 3D Artist Bill Foley – Hull UK.

Here an over view gallery of our findings, examples of word derived design. Negative to positive. Transforming original drawings. 2D to 3D.

From the drawing board phases of continuous transference. From digital to hand drawn and back again. Continously breaking down or indeed opening up texts by way of creative & imaginitive embellishment.
