TYPO speeches that moved us: Marian Bantjes – Imagining myself

“I spend a lot of time trying to figure out who I am, what I am about, where I came from and where I am headed. Looking at my own work, I engage in self analysis as I follow the threads of influence, to discover what is worthwhile, what is sustainably interesting, and how to evolve into my imagined future.” Marian Bantjes at TYPO Berlin 2008.

Marian Bantjes

Marian Bantjes has been variously described as a typographer, designer, artist, and writer. She works from her base on a small island off the west coast of Canada, and her personal, obsessive, and sometimes strange graphic work has brought her international recognition. Following her interests in complexity and structure, Marian is known for her custom typography, detailed and lovingly precise vector art, obsessive hand work, and patterning and ornament.
