By way of introduction, let me state that I am slightly obsessed (just slightly) with the idea of madness, of mental disorders. There's a long and doubtlessly uninteresting backstory to that, but the intent of sharing that is to give you a bit of background for the project. Insanity fascinates me.
[ The photos above (which obviously won't be used in the project...because they're photos...) are from a shoot I did a year or so ago, focusing on the concept of madness and institutions. ]
Anyway! The quotes are:
"It is strange how often times the air speaks." - Calvin Miller
"Madness carves its own reality." - Kay Jamison
"We are sane as long as we hear voices when there are none." - Calvin Miller
"We are sane as long as we hear voices when there are none." - Calvin Miller
These two images are examples of manual typography that really 'speaks' to me...and the style I might be trying to go for with this project.
Anyway, two other possibilities for quotes, in place of the last one -
"We are insane when we hear nothing and worse we are deaf."
"Come play along the precipice-
Don't worry that the cliff is steep-
The little flowers on the brink
Are daisies, but their roots grow deep."
we'll see.
