type related puns sewn on t-shirts

What is your type?

Group exhibition at

Creative Macau

DATE

October 2011

My first Group Exhibition and all my art (sweat and tears) was sold out!

There is so much about Type that I love, all those serifs, ligatures, kerning and....puns. Brainstorming about what to do for this Group Exhibition I immediately knew it had to be around Type. The idea grew and grew and grew and suddenly I was spending my evenings with a needle in my hands, something I never imagined.

"What is your type?" is a set of t-shirts with simple and non-sense sentences that portray a specific typeface. The idea is that you should wear the one that best suits your character. The t-shirts are 100% handmade.

I handpicked the fabrics myself in the local market, designed a simple t-shirt model and asked a tailor to replicate it on those fabrics, the tag was also unique and handmade by a local lady that worked with cross-stitch. The letters were cut and sewn in felt by me, all of them in the specific font they referred to.
