This Little Art, Kate Briggs, 2017
recommended by Eva Moulaert
The way Kate Briggs articulates her translation practice is not only beautiful. Much of what she touches on applies directly to the practice of a graphic designer: working with someone else’s material and how that leads you into uncharted territory. Continuing a thread, associating freely, making content your own. Working within the restrictions of a commission. Finding ways to respond to content without making yourself invisible. Playing with authorship. This essay prompted me to look more closely at my own practice, the ingredients I consider essential to it, and how I want to position myself as a graphic designer.
