One thing that was very unfortunate for me when I was in school and just starting out as a designer in New York was that I had no role models. I couldn’t find any women working in the field of graphic design—and I tried very hard to find them. Today, it’s really, really important to me to be a role model in any way I can.

Bob Dylan´s Subterranean Homesick Blues- A HAND LETTERING EXPERIENCE -I´ve been thinking for a lot of time on doing a personal project where I could get out of the computer for a little bit, and have pleasure doing something handmade.

Getting back to the basics. Inspired by Bob Dylan´s Subterranean Homesick Blues video, where he flips cards with the lyrics as the song plays, I decided to recreate those cards with handmade type. I ended up doing all the lyrics, and not just some of the words, as Dylan did. There are 66 cards done in one month during my spare time using only pencil, black tint pens and brushes. The challenge was not to use the computer, no retouching was allowed. I had a lot of fun doing this project, researching, practicing and getting deeper on typography.

She may not be much known out of her native Australia, and even here she has a limited audience. I first came across her work on a visit to this continent when I was still living in London, by the date of the catalogue from which these illustrations are taken, sometime over 1998/1999. She died in October 1999 so this exhibition, held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, was to be something of a memorial.

Typographers will be drawn to her work immediately, as I was – although she trained as a flower arranger in the Japanese sense of that term (ikebana), and only took to art in the mid-1970s.
