In 2022, I was commissioned by Carrie Foulkes from the University of Glasgow to design a logo for DeathWrites Network. The Network started at the University of Glasgow in 2017 with a series of reading and writing workshops. Since then, it has been supported by RSE, The University of Glasgow Arts Lab and the Glasgow End of Life Studies Group. From Summer 2024 the DeathWrites Network of writers continues as a University of Glasgow Arts Lab hosting events to support Scotland-based writers from across disciplines and genres to write and publish powerful, accessible work that broaden and diversify understandings and conversations about death, dying and grief.
I was honoured to be commissioned to design the Network's logo. In my brief, I was asked to feature a bone as part of the logo and I created a few different concepts, one of which - a play on the fountain pen's nib - was chosen as the Networks' official logo.
