Flo Low is a British-Armenian artist, graphic designer, and art educator based in Brooklyn. They use printmaking and textile to explore the figures and landscapes of the past, how they shape us and how we shape them in response to loneliness and alienation. In their practice, they gather found fragments that give us a glimpse into the layered history around us, including city typography, which they have published as the NYC ABCs, and Armenian food history, published as Recipes from a Free Artsakh. Inspired by the children they work with, their ongoing project Bags for Life plays with form and function through designing and making single-purpose (but not single use) bags.
Two zines designed for Kings College London publication print editorial design Along with Soofiya under the name of Co - Work Studio, I designed two print publications, Utopia Now and Dystopia Now, a project with the School of Population Health & Environmental Sciences at Kings College London, based off a series of workshops they held for young people impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. In this project, I designed two zine publications, Utopia Now and Dystopia Now, showcasing the artwork, poetry, film and creative writing created by the teenagers, and two promotional postcards and a manifesto that accompanied the publications. We developed analogue, zine-like cut-and-paste illustration for the layout design.
