Ogham
This publication was created in response to my extended essay submission focusing on Tomm Moore’s interpretation of Irish folklore and heritage in The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea.
Ogham is a sixty-four-page saddle-stitched publication exploring the ancient Celtic alphabet ‘Ogham’. It interprets the alphabet’s alternative title, ‘Celtic Tree Alphabet’ in a contemporary manner, pairing each lino-printed letter with a visual of the tree it represents. I created a range of imagery to represent each tree, including digital images and contact charcoal prints to explore the natural form of the letters.
