Brooklyn-based artist Meg Hitchock dissects religious texts such as the Bible, Koran, and Torah and uses the individual letters to create maddeningly complex, interwoven collages of typography. Via her artist statement: In my series Mantras & Meditations, I examine and deconstruct the word of God as interpreted through the world religions. I select passages from holy books and cut the letters from one passage to form the text of another. For example, I may cut up a passage from the Old Testament of the Bible and reassemble it as a passage from the Bhagavad Gita, or I may use type from the Torah to recreate an ancient Tantric text. A continuous line of text forms the words and sentences in a run-on manner, without spaces or punctuation, creating a visual mantra of devotion. (via hyperallergic)

Chilean-born designer Francisca Prieto experiments with typography to create innovative interior products and artworks. Her work plays with graphic elements in both 2D and 3D form giving each piece a rich narrative of its own. Says Prieto: “I like unexpected connections, like the idea of bringing together the concept of a compass and a clock…I also like taking things out of context, like using Japanese binding instead of hinges. The unexpected scale or context makes you look at it with different eyes” (via homelife)
