They speak in a caring, loving, surreal and overall positive way, but in the colors of the authority. Although at child height (mostly) they are also for the parents who may notice that their children are being targeted, hopefully sparking a mixed emotion.

The signs attempt to plant a seed in peoples’ minds, that might grow with the other thoughts throughout the day. Design for every day life. The most personal design in the most plublic of ways.

Combining his nostalgic tendencies with pub quiz knowledge and chutzpah to create pieces ranging from a ball of bogies in a broken eggcup, to a formula predicting Bond film plot structure, to inventing a new home-based sport. Ford’s body of work consists of projects and investigations based around observations, process and play. He produces art in various forms including sculpture, installation, film and web-located events.
