Robert Fones | G, S, Y Types



Robert Fones
G, S, Y Types
Toronto, Canada: Nothing Else Press, 2016
2 x 2 cm.
Edition of 50 (each type)

"The G, S, Y Types represent the only three possible configurations that can be constructed on a nine-square grid by tracing a continuous pathway through all nine squares. Additional variants can be generated by flipping or rotating the three basic types. The bevelled pathways were inspired by overhead views of gabled roofs and by First Style paintings from Pompeii. The three types are named after the letterforms they most closely resemble: G, S and Y."
- Robert Fones


An exhibition of new work by Fones opens tomorrow night at Olga Korper Gallery in Toronto (17 Morrow Avenue). The reception runs from 6 to 8 pm. Visit the gallery website, here, for details.
