FRAMES OF THOUGHT
Publication, 2024
Frames of Thought is a graphic novel that explores El Lissitzky's essays Topology of Typography and Typographical Facts, alongside graphic novels written by female-identifying artists from the last decade.
The publication seeks to experiment with non-structured narrative forms, with graphic novels offering an intuitive approach to type and image relationships. It is hand-drawn, except for images from the referenced comics, featuring an accordion fold, with each essay occupying one side. It references graphic novels written or illustrated by womxn artists, including Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, and My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris.
