Between Folds
According to Francisca Prieto’s website, she is
fascinated by typography. She deconstructs type to create her own three-dimensional interpretations of the things … Originally trained as a graphic designer Francisca takes a mathematical approach, which can be seen through the grids and systems applied to each piece she creates.
The piece to the left is part of her Between Folds project, where she “explores the deconstruction of rare illustrated periodicals and books using modular structures and typographical elements.” She also has a nice set of alphabet prints.
There’s an interview with Francisca here.
