I recently completed a project in which I was given 4 shapes; a square, circle, triangle and pill shape and from these I had to create a modular world and a font.  I decided to break away from all the computer design I had done and create my font in 3d.  I wanted to go back to basics and so I decided to used sugar cubes and stack them into letters and photograph them.  Whilst looking out of the windows of my university studio I saw that all of the surrounding buildings were made from modular shapes and so I decided to photograph my letters against the live city background, so my font was towering in the modular world.  I took photographs and these are a few of my outcomes.  I think they are powerful images.
