John Fekner research,

I began looking at stencil artists to see whether I wanted to use a particular style of stencil drawing, or stick to the basic style that is used for road signs.

These are stencil pieces done by John Fekner, he creates work in New York, Sweden, Germany, England and Canada. The theme of his pieces are to address environmental issues and show certain conceptual ideas.



I found it interesting looking at the progression between these two pieces. I like the idea of using a sinple stencil and then turning it into a mural style piece. This is something I may consider to my wayfinding/signage designs. For example I could use the silohettes of the people in my wayfinding signs to then create a mural on an outside wall? showing the collaboration of art, dance and theatre students in the school.
