"Insurfence' is a publication that explores typography within the urban space. Inspired by wayfinding and signage, I immersed myself in an exploration of typography and its role as a 'code' for underlying city systems and structures that are conducive to the functioning of the city and its maintenance - the human-city relationship." This speculative app was created in response to a wayfinding brief provided by the Sydney Living Museum for their Rouse Hill Estate. The experience would be directed the stories of rooms and their objects, the land, and the unseen, showcasing through the beauty of Rouse Hill and its primarily self-referential collection. A photo series exploring identity and consumerism.
