Claying with type - Gallery Port

Claying with type is a collaborative project between type designer Guðmundur Úlfarsson (Or Type) and product designer Hanna Dís Whitehead where they work with their joint interest in the journey between the digital and the handmade. The works are based on a visual conversation between the two artists, from two-dimensional to three-dimensional and vice-versa, which is sometimes misunderstood and has even been distorted midway. Both Hanna and Guðmundur have a personal approach to their work, which is on the borders between design and art. In his type design, Guðmundur works with the language and text-based art, while Hanna weaves materials, colours, forms and story together in her creation of sculptures, household objects, textiles, rugs and other products.
