INKONIC DESIGN

Design hieroglyphics

‘Inkonic Design’ is a series of 6 illustrations halfway between hieroglyphic and primitive drawing, reducing a series of iconic objects to a formal minimum in order to achieve a sign-like abstraction. The lines and shapes that wander across the surface of the sheet suggest forms, elements, outlines and silhouettes, but refuse to converge into complete or recognisable figures, the important thing is the overall composition and not the individual elements that shape it. A set of seemingly enigmatic signs dance across the sheet like an interconnected doodle at once primitive and controlled.

These illustrations compose a series of design hieroglyphics with iconological and semiotic values.
