Visual Identity, Psychogeography, Placemaking
Manhole covers are doors to the
underground and are essential for the
maintenance of a town. But what else
lies beneath? What kind of mysteries and
histories are hidden from our sight?
As a response to the visual languag of suburbia I created a collection of
patterns inspired by mundane shapes
and objects I found on my psychogeographic walks through Kingston. These patterns are intended to decorate the manhole covers of this town, making ordinary objects beautiful and
referring to the unknown world that only
the fictitious creations of our mind have
access to.
