This poster shows one visual outcome of The System of Cuts. Using images and lyrics from One Direction, I followed a set of fixed rules and variables to respond critically to explore how a process of cutting both physically and emotionally might reconstruct meaning.
Every cut is a cut of separation - from a song, a memory or identity. The pieces have been rearranged to create a new of composition where the fragments may retain traces of their original form but change in context. The result is an abstract visual rhythm - part destruction, part reconstruction - to uncover how design may mean to transform absence in to form.
