Alphabet Cityscapes
These ceramic sculptures were created for TypeCon 05 with the theme “Alphabet City.” They are three-dimensional representations of bitmap letters. A grid was made and, generally, the white cells were left flat while the black cells – pixels – were extruded to form abstract buildings. Many of the letterforms are taken over by the city, so “maps” of the original letter sequences are provided alongside the pieces to help aid in identification and to give credit to the original type designers.
