Artist contact from last year. I wrote her a handwritten letter.NINA: Thank you so much for your letter.
It's so nice to get a hand-written letter in this day and age! I appreciate your interest in typography. In answer to your questions:
How do you go about producing purely typographic work ?
I like words and they way letterforms can be evocative of a certain time/place. I really like old decorative wood letterforms that can be found in Letterpress workshops. Does your college have such a workshop. If you're interested in typography it's definitely worth signing up for a course.
What is your inspiration for it ?
I like old signage. As I live in London(I'm sure this is true of any big city)a lot can be conveyed through shop signage in particular. I like the diversity of typefaces, old and new that exist side by side here.
I hope that helps. I'm sorry I can't go into more depth. I am very busy with several projects right now.
