mismatch & ultimate power

rietveld_13_1

this weekend i visited the rietveld academy graduation show, as usual always worth the trip…the graphics department was perhaps less interesting than in previous years i found, although one student stood out in my memory: sophie rogg

rietveld_sophie_rogg_1

a swiss student who created a series of bright, graphic textile patterns with unlikely titles such as ‘the axis of evil according to george w. bush’ and ‘tax havens’

rietveld_sophie_rogg_2

her prints were not only interesting as an idea but were also beautifully executed in multiple extravagant colours using flags and symbolism
