The Relationship
I've worked closely with Alarmist — Dublin's acclaimed instrumental band — since their formation in 2010. The collaboration has been ongoing across three releases and a full run of merchandise, developing and evolving their visual identity as the music has grown.
Each release demanded a distinct visual language: from the organic, biological textures of the debut LP to the light-saturated abstraction of the second EP. The self-titled debut EP was a collaboration with artist David Lunney, using stitching and tweening to build a wrap-around digipak illustration.
