Speaking Places: Hamilton 2015.

Speaking Places: Hamilton 2015 examines Hamilton’s forgotten identity as ‘Hamilton: the Fountain City’, and turns in on itself to discuss the failed public art commission it was originally made to accompany. Like the wider Speaking Places series, an ongoing collaboration with Ella Sutherland, it focuses on the ways language may exist and collide within a specific locale, and on how the by-products of the natural and constructed environment might be understood, highlighted, traced, and proposed—asking how graphic design might offer alternative perspectives, drawing on historical, cultural, and social precedents while claiming its own identity as an autonomous form.

It includes texts by Kim Paton, Ella Sutherland, and myself—my own contribution, To a Concerned Resident of Hamilton, is listed among the writing.
