In Process: exhibited as part of Progressions in PhD Research

‘In Process’ forms part of ongoing PhD research into typography and the materiality of language. While words and text hold semantic and linguistic value, they also embody a materiality that extends language from within itself. When language, through typographic form, is referred to as something other than its outward role as an ‘invisible’ conduit of information, it is self-referring, it becomes a medium within and reflecting upon itself, offering its own metalanguage, a second order discourse. In this research, a series of process-led typographic ‘events’ through analogue and digital processes examine the visual and material attributes of language within a hybrid, third space in context of what is considered a ‘post-digital’ / ‘post-text’ age.
