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