Our Frame of Sight
Louis Falisse

The window is incredibly multi-faceted. It is a connection between interior and exterior, a hole in the facade of a structurally sound construction, an opportunity for ornamentation upon a repetitive surface. I sought to explore the window as a means of visual art and graphic identity while dissecting themes of repetition, structure, and form.

Windows is a series exploring the window as a visual system. I do this by capturing flat, observational images and then treating the image until the "background" fades away, leaving only the frame of the glass within the window. This allows the viewer to examine the intricacies of the window form. ‘Blocks’ is an experiment (realized through two major projects) capturing a city block in the same observational format. The website component consists of a scrollable image of a city block and a hover feature that reveals the glass in the windows and the activity behind them; and the subsequent “Proposal for Space” cards explore my role as a graphic designer interested in architecture.

F_RM is a variable brand identity for a gallery that draws a graphic identity from my past research. By extrapolating the glass forms from the window images, I was able to create shapes resembling O, A, and I glyphs. I then substituted these shapes within the term F_RM, and created logo marks with the words Form, Farm, and Firm. Solo exhibitions are housed under the label FORM, duo exhibitions under the label FARM, and group exhibitions by the moniker FIRM.
