BEWEME
Kevin Hunt

BEWEME is an open-source design for a risograph print that tessellates into a ‘wallpaper’, which is specifically designed to be installed within the social areas of public institutions - interior spaces where people gather, work and interact. Spelling out the words ‘BE’, ‘WE’ and ‘ME’ across multiple surfaces hundreds of times throughout the space, BEWEME’s palette and pattern is intended to make the organisation’s workspaces feel more homely. The linguistic motif in the work implies a calm and caring atmosphere and prompts us to think about better ways of working together and to rethink our behaviour towards each other and ourselves in social/work environments.

Bio: Kevin Hunt

Kevin Hunt (1983) is a British artist who holds an interest in the linguistic potential of everyday objects, forms and spaces (the kinds of things and places we may regularly use or see on a day-to-day basis), sculpture, printed works and ‘social installations’. He investigates the mutability of language within our everyday scenario and the possibilities such mutability allows; especially when we take things literally or run with misunderstandings.
