Below is the text that accompanied my work in the University of Houston's Masters Thesis show in April. It explains very briefly, the meaning behind my work. Enjoy.
------------
A typeface originates as part of the aesthetics of the historical period in which it is created; its final form a result of the cultural associations unique to the type designer who creates it. The associations I make as a designer between the object and what it is communicating are part of my understanding of relationships of form and meaning, visually and mentally.
A typographic form is more than a functional letter. The subtleties within its form remind me of feelings, thoughts or people. My personal experiences with others become part of how I relate to typographic form. It is a language of its own. Printed, drawn or sculpted, letterforms communicate with me as characters on a stage, each one acting according to its role. I am witness to their efforts.
