Stories From Here and There Artist's Book by María José Castillo
“‘Stories From Here and There’ is a dos-à-dos book thta reflects on my experieces and feelings with being away from home, and the physical and mental process of traveling between my country of origin and the one I am residing [in] at this time. ‘Where are we when we are on a plane?’, ‘When does home become home?’, and other questions I try to stir up while also processing feelings of nostalgia, longing, and finding my place in the context I am in now.” - María José Castillo

María José Castillo (they/them & she/her) is a graphic designer and visual artist with a body of work that feeds off of their curiosity with language and communication. Their conceptual approach incorporates the analysis of cultural background related to the way we read the written word, not only as a functional element in a discourse, but also as an object existing in a spatial field. María José’s work is heavy on formal exploration of type and shape, with a particular emphasis on how type, layout, and color affect the way a message is read. They also dive deep in a quirky and colorful universe with their illustration work, often accompanied by lettering exploration.
