Spaces so Light, Bright and Clean. MFA Degree Project and research
This project took its point of departure in words I gathered from different kinds of contemporary texts regarding Scandinavian (graphic) design to explore how the narrative materializes, affects visual language and ways of working.I then turned my eyes towards visual expressions that haven't been described as clean, neutral or functional to explore ideas around scrapbooking and ornamentation. The 12 posters were a way to approach, and embrace, the social and emotional value these things can hold, but seldom are acknowledged for in the design scene. A speculation about if the slowness of ornamentation (to decorate takes time) can open for other ways of valuing our time and working methods beyond mass production and effectivisation.
