Gestalt wave of experience

This graphic – in collaboration with Mick Cooper – shows the stages of the Gestalt cycle of experience (as a wave) and the blocks that interrupt healthy functioning.

But unlike woodblocks, carved to stamp ink on a print, this design works within a computery-collage framework using paper, cork, yarn and other everyday textures with our usual ethics of typewriter, hand cut letters and simple utility-knife shapes
