Scale - Poster and Booklet
Info-Co Workshop: Format, Frame, Focus
Size: Poster 18 x 24 in, Booklet 5 x 7 in
“Sometimes you can take the whole of the world in, and sometimes you need a small piece to take in.” —Sister Corita Kent
This project explores the idea of scale not only as a visual or physical dimension, but also as a conceptual one. Created during the Info-Co workshop Format, Frame, Focus, the work responds to a series of material prompts—including words, imagery, color, and form—through iterative print compositions.
At the heart of this project is a shifting of scale—a large (24 x 36 inch) poster is carefully folded and cut to transform into a small
(4.5 x 6 inch) booklet. This physical transformation reflects the conceptual journey: moving between macro and micro, system and fragment, narrative and moment.
In my interpretation, scale becomes a lens to examine the tension between the concrete and the abstract. I selected short, specific words—like Rule or Hierarchy—for the large-scale components, and paired them with expansive, philosophical paragraphs for the small-scale text. Through this juxtaposition, I explore how meaning shifts depending on our distance—both visually and intellectually.
The background imagery features a small sculpture I made several years ago using air-dry clay, acrylic, and paper. Its fragile, layered surface becomes a fitting visual anchor for the project. As we navigate grand narratives, we can easily lose ourselves. This sculpture—and this book—are both meditations on the feeling of being lost within the vast.
