This project was a series of very temporary typographic installation pieces exploring the lifespan of type and communication. With the help of Thomas Lowry, who took the photos, we explored the city and wrote site-specific messages with brush and water.

The short nature of these installations was meant to simulate a conversation you might happen to overhear. Either you were there to experience them or they evaporated never to be seen again. In the same way you might be in the right place to overhear a fascinating story on the street. Tom documented the creation and evaporation of each piece allowing me to focus on the development of the pieces.

Off the Wall is the publication that documents and explains the project. Simple saddle stitch format and one colour printing allows the powerful images to speak for themselves.
