Cabinet of Curiosity Wanwimon Lloyd
“Derive ideas from the world around you, from your own background, from your childhood, from relationships with others, fromthe social and political environment. Don’t be confinded to a pond...in which the water isalways in danger of becoming stagnant”
Ken Garland
From Garland’s quote, i wanted to highlight the key words that stood out to me and create a mind map, this then made me ask questions about my past self, future and present.
Antonio Rodrigues I came across this artist on Behance and was drawn to the typograpgy and illustration. Rodgrigues created a book based on love, from when he was in a band and wrote his own material, it tells about being frightened by the feeling of losing control, of not knowing exactly whats happening inside.
I wanted to base my work on something similar, from my mind map I found myself brought back to my childhood. I thought about questions I would ask then, how I might have felt and why I did this or that at the time. I wanted to tell a story with words and sentences, making people curiosu about what it could mean to me or them.
i started experimenting with my own type, writing out sentences and questions coming from me and perhaps that othrs could relate to it as well. I wanted to experiment with different styles and matererials.
alexander korzer robinson “By using pre-existing media as a starting point, certain boundaries are set by the material, which i aim to transform through my process. These books having been stripped of their utilitarian value by the passage of time, regain new purpose. they are no longer tools to learn about the world, but rather a means to gain insight about one self.”
From looking at aLEXANDER Robinson’s work, i was really facinated by his meaning of work, the beauty of his purpose. I mainly was influenced by his amount of images and layers that created. I wanted to combine my own type with my own illustration and images to form a kind of short story and curiosity.
I wanted to create a book with all my layers of image, text and tracing paper, so i tried to create a book, i researched how to form a book in different ways so it wasn’t just ordinary.
i came to develop the tracing paper combining my own childhood photos, i wanted to illustrate on the tracing paper to show my thought and emtions and the time. i really enjoyed this process because i was able to go back through time and rediscover my thoughts and relive my childhood through pictures.

i really admire the patterns in his texts, it all reminds me of celtic and tribal work.
His ter ing the
I found these artist in a “typo-grapgy� book and i wanted to use a similar style in my work to help represent my words and illustrations more.
work of type seems to scateverywhere, i enjoy how nothis really neat and tidy, but message can still stand out.
I started to play with my photos on photoshop, using simple shapes and plain colour. I wanted to create another type of base for the layer of tracing paper.
Here i started turning my type into cubes, i wanted to try and present it in a different way. i made the cubes in a vareity of sizes, i wrote on the paper with fine liner, sentences and words that would relate to me. also i made boxes to go inside each other such as the russian doll.
