Becoming
Becoming is about the time and energy we put into the making process. Whether it’s a creative project, a gift, a home, a family, a community— what we put into creating it is what we put into ourselves.
The dominant image is that of a flying bird, made up of the kinds of things a bird might use to build its nest. The type asks the question “What if the time we spend making is the love we spend building the space we inhabit for what we will be?”
Little torn pieces of “thinking” words in the bird represent the way that conscious thought becomes such a small fragment in the larger process of creation.
Becoming was created in Adobe Photoshop, where I combined scans of twigs, wires, yarn, and paper. I wrote and formed the type in Adobe Illustrator.
