"Graphic design is my point of departure. Experimentation and direct experience is at the core of every project I do"
Aylin Önel is a graphic designer from Istanbul, Turkey. I came across some images of her when flicking through a book at college, and decided to have a more detailed look at her work. I found this piece, which fits perfectly with the work I'm doing at present in my FMP.
The image is from a set of works called 'Evolution/Speech' and they're collages made from torn up ink drawings. I was drawn to them because I felt it could have been taken from a section of a map, with the outlined shape being a county or country and the ink marks the roads.
This is an ink drawing I did myself, using coloured inks and a straw to blow the inks on their own journey. In my sketchbook, I'm going to tear up these pieces of work and stick them back together in similar shapes to those that I made when I looked at the journeys my family and I make on a daily basis in my local area.
