Interlocutions derives from research concerning the use of printmaking technologies within Northwest Coast art in relation to Indigenous literary histories. These toner-based plotter prints depict texts written in response to works by Indigenous authors that negotiate the presence of the past within contemporary life.

(In Progress)

To tackle the alarming deficiency in current North American young adult literacy, I am proposing to redesign classical literature to be more understandable, engaging, and inspiring using expressive and possibly dynamic expressive typography. I would like to ultimately stimulate a previously lost appreciation of literature and the English language in addition to improving reading comprehension and effectuating more frequent reading.

I plan on creating a focus group with university students and testing their responses to all three types of typography: regular typography, expressive static typography, and expressive kinetic typography.

As I am currently working on this project, I will be updating my portfolio as it progresses.
