Curator: Lisa Deanne Smith

Exhibition Information/Summary:

This solo exhibition by Canadian designer, Marian Bantjes, includes typography, illustration, fabric design, sculpture and more. Inspired by her new book, I Wonder, which uses text and image to discuss design, often in a personal manner. But it also goes beyond that. A slow reading of I Wonder reveals the letters to be more than text and the images to be more than illustration.
