The time I was given the opportunity to refresh The Black Seeds logo and direct the cover art for the next series of releases — that was a dream project.
The responsibility given to me to design memorial sculptures given to the thirteen international rescue teams who helped New Zealand Fire Service after the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Because of the nature of this piece it was important to be as respectful and as possible throughout the project. With this in mind we visited the sites, selecting timber, stained glass, steel and stone; then composed the items and set them in acrylic before cutting and polishing them back to reveal the different textures on the surface, allowing the recipients to handle the items the just as they did during the time they assisted the Fire Service.

That time I was invited to exhibit at a typographic show and share a poem I'd written as a love struck teenager but only recently worked out what it looked like.
