It also features stories and personal accounts community members - who were each gifted with a copy of the book during what was a particularly lonely time for many. The interlocking English and Chinese text are a reference to traditional round dining tables where reunions take place, while also representing these dual cultures. 2021

[Type/Poster Design]: This exhibition explores "nature and landscape in Scotland and Barbados" through the work of artists Annalee Davis & Amanda Thomson. The show's title references tendrils; the spiral formations plants make as they grow. These shapes are mirrored in the typography itself. Additionally, with both artists' work referencing Scotland, the typography and visual choices for the poster were influenced by Gaelic letters and the natural colours of Scottish woodlands. Curated by Alaya Ang. CCA, Glasgow. 2022
