Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
'There used to be a time when designers were trained in the history of composition. Now you just buy a f*ckin' piece of software and now you've become a designer.' For decades this avatar of low-tech design has fought against the use of digital software. Chantry's homage to expired technology, and his inspired use of Xerox machines and precision blade cuts of printed material, created a much-copied style during the grunge era. Chantry draws upon his years in the business to create the kind of opinionated art history you always wanted to read but were never assigned.
