The Ornamental Alphabet series is inspired by the decorative initials created during the Renaissance by artists such as Albrecht Dürer and Hans Hoblein. They embellished each letter as a framed event in itself, their characters were accompanied with intricate scenes of earthly and celestial life - pictures speaking a thousand words around a single letter. This series is my own interpretation of that idea, bringing references to Greek myth, biblical figures, flora and fauna into each character’s composition.
