When I was assigned the letter v, I was thrilled—this was going to give me the opportunity to play with one of my favourite letterforms of all time, the Linotype Didot Italic lowercase v. It’s a very sensual letterform and is unique in form to that typeface. My wife is a lampworker (formfireglassworks.com), so while she was working in the garage studio, we were talking about the project. I took inspiration from the work she was doing and turned it into what is now my final piece. I took the colour and texture of her work and brought it to mine. coreyholms.com
