ARTIST BIO & STATEMENT
My piece is about my emails over the last year. I analyzed just the most basic stats I could by using smart mailboxes and compiling emails from a specific timeframe, filtering out emails that didn’t fit my criteria. I portrayed the stats in a minimalistic circular mandala that ironically is usually considered spiritual and meditational in essence, qualities that emails are certainly not. So in a way the subject and the medium are in conflict.
Thorleifur Gunnar Gíslason is a graphic designer living in Reykjavík, Iceland. His style is a blend of Scandinavian and Swiss style with focus on forms, balance and repetition.
