Rose Nordin نور الدين


Currently artist-in-residence at ⟶ Somerset House Studios London UK and ⟶ Jan Van Eyck Academie Maastricht NL   developing work on the divine qualities of printed letterforms and alphabets under the project title: The talisman of the written word and the talking leaves.

Through her practice and research, Rose is interested in the publication as a site of exchange and collaboration, print technologies as tools for union, and letterforms as modes of magic.

As a designer, Rose primarily makes artist books and printed matter. This extends to exhibition and custom type design.
