Metal type
Wood type
Edition 5 - 10
Electric Biology is an ongoing series of works inspired by biological processes in the body and my experience living with a neurological condition. The visual abstractions in the series are inspired by the electrical impulses in the brain, whose activity governs behavior, language, and consciousness. The connection between these impulses and our cognition led me to work with pieces of language and explore fragmentation as a fundamental human condition.

All prints are created in small editions using wood and metal type. I carefully curate the typographic collection and the printing plates in my studio. I also create my printing plates using discarded materials, cardboard, and duct tape. I print very delicate type next to duck-taped plates to create a dynamic and ethereal effect. The abstracted compositions include my writing, inspired by movement, migration, and immigration. I write in English and Croatian. The writing fragments speak to a loss and a redefinition of home in the context of body, place, and country.
