ABOUT THIS COLLECTION- words by the designer Abi Wood
The Leviathan effect
This collection looks at the age of enlightenment; a philosophical and intellectual movement that dominated Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. The movement pushed logic, reason and utility, while undermining the authority of the monarchy and the Catholic Church. These two opposing aesthetics are central to the visual language of this work.
The Leviathan is a mythical, serpent-like creature that possesses the natural ability to influence the behaviours of 'lesser-minded' organisms to the point of complete physical and mental control, an effect that is similar to indoctrination. During the enlightenment era, religious ideology began to be overturned by philosophers who were pushing individualistic, utilitarian thinking.
Simplified, this school of thought lead first to the industrial revolution, and then to capitalistic economic structures. The Leviathan was once the Catholic Church, and is now governments and conglomerate corporations, who benefit greatly from these damaging structures.
