This next example of stretched typography relates to the concept of actually stretching existing typefaces. This work is from a temporary exhibition at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Bolzano, Italy, and shows the way in which letters can actually be stretched to create a new shape. The concept of this piece is to show the "formchangings" a mountain goes through as the viewer moves and changes their view point.
From this view it isn't fully obvious the extent to which the type has been stretched and it looks slightly like it could just be an illusion or a trick of the type, yet with this second image, you see how the type is stretched further round the corner of a the wall.
This shows the way in which the piece relates to mountain ranges and how the viewers perception of both the type and the mountain range are changed by changing the view point.
The way these letters are stretched across the wall is a similar way to the way that I stretched the letter K for my final resolutions. The letters are still legible yet for most of them, just one element has been stretched, like the base of the L has been lengthened drastically and the middle of the U has been dragged across the wall.
