Rakka: Suspect and Fugitive

The Suspect and Fugitive project finds Seattle-based artist Rakka creating an item a day out of suspect (questionable) and fugitive (nonarchival) materials. Recreating typographic forms in, say, peanut butter or cough syrup would certainly be an interesting and effective exercise for starter design students—had I been forced to sculpt letters out of spaghetti or electrical tape I'd certainly have retained more from Type 101.
