Quintessential Quill
“Quintessential Quill” was inspired by Shakespeare’s work and is a statement of the timelessness of his legacy. It was aimed at bringing Shakespeare’s words into a contemporary setting. The project seeks to bridge the gap between classical literature and modern culture.
Creating an animation with words that Shakespeare is credited with, makes them accessible and engaging for today’s audience. Each word is one that most people are familiar with but might not know that the ‘great white bard’ came up with or phrased them the way they are used today.
The project extends beyond the digital screen by printing a word on the front and a sketch of Shakespeare on the back. Wearing the T-shirt not only expresses appreciation for Shakespeare but might also spark conversation about his enduring relevance.
Hand in hand, the animation and T-shirt offer an engaging homage to Shakespeare. The audience is invited to rediscover his work in an exciting and fresh way. They remind us of the beauty found within his words.
