Alex Hamilton, Works - 2009, Patrick Heide Contemporary Art

"It is the structure of our spaces rather than our language which keeps us sane." This Merleau-Ponty quote has not only inspired much of Alex Hamilton's work. Its influence can also be seen in the design of Works – 2009.

The catalogue presents seven series of drawings on a matt art paper neatly divided by what appears to be a single sheets of a warm grey textured material. The design and production acrobatics necessary to achieve this seemingly simple structure inflicted a bout of insanity on designers and printers alike.
