Made In London
This was a typographical project based on the traditional nursery rhyme ‘Oranges and Lemons’, and I was delighted to create this piece of artwork to donate to Art Against Knives.
“Art Against Knives is a youth-led charity which works to reduce the root causes of knife crime through arts initiatives that provide an alternative to violent gang culture.
AAK was born from the tragic and unprovoked stabbing of Oliver Hemsley, a 21-year-old student from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art & Design. The vicious attack, which has left Oliver in a wheelchair, took place in Shoreditch, East London, in August 2008. It is the impact of this that drives Art Against Knives to create something positive from such a life-changing experience.”
Art Against Knives have just opened their own new shop in Boxpark, Shoreditch E1.
