Over the last several years it has become a bit worrisome to me that perhaps technology is taking more that it is giving. This thought, has led me down a path in-between technology and the more humanistic things that we find in our history. The work on my thesis project approached this topic by using the computer to create work and art which has a classical and spiritual feeling. I feel that this work was a success (images found here: http://store.johndilworth.com).
On the other side of things, I also find myself enamored by technology, by its image, complexity, and industrial nature that seems to move ahead without regard for the past. In all of this, I have recently found a few interesting forms and ideas that are moving my work in new and perhaps surprising directions, where technology is juxtaposed with classical elements.
The next project has involved the development of a new typeface, Cloaked Humanity, in a few variations, and the typesetting of the bible in that font. There’s something funny, interesting, and hopefully powerful in a book that contains all the content of the original, but can’t be read because the humanity is “Cloaked.”
I’ll be making some updates here as I embark on this project.
