ABOUT POLLY JOHNSON

Polly Johnson is a graphic design educator at the Ringling College of Art + Design in Sarasota, Florida. There her teaching is focused around three dimensional problem solving, typography, visual thinking and design process. Three dimensional student work can be found at the Flatcities Blog.

Recently, she is building a body of work { in the shadows } exploring the inscription of written words onto three dimensional clay surfaces. Each piece is episodic and represents a part of ongoing drama. The whimsical stories are seemingly childlike, but upon closer investigation, one discovers hidden texts.

Bringing disparate words and images together from popular culture is a quality that can be found throughout her print, clay, and motion work.

She lives in Florida with her Husband Dieter, and her starling,
Mr. Birdie.
