CHLOE M. COOKE


My creative practices are rooted in experimentation and play. I often create work that allows me to understand and discover more about the world through connections. The intersections between beauty and truth unravel before us as we move through life. These moments are often shaped by our entanglements—with ourselves, each other, our communities, and the land around us. The nonhuman experiences can show us the depths of humanity. When we document these quiet moments and intentionally weave discovery into our reality, we gain the ability to dream of new paths for ourselves and others.

055





    This August, the city of Florence decided they wanted to expand their current cultural initiative Estate Fiorentina to include local food producers and artisans. Their festival invites tourists and Florentine citizens to come out and enjoy locally produced food and have a refreshing walk in Cascine Park at night during the hottest days of August.






 




I named the event 055 because this is the area code for Florence, Italy. Numbers transcend most languages. This name and the logo was made to appeal to locals and tourists because of its easy recognizability. The color family and imagery was chosen to represent Italian culture. Most of the colors were colors I found repeating throughout Florence. The typeface was influenced by the letterpress because of Florence’s long history of the letterpress. The structures and iconography featured with the logo are pulled from the architecture that exists in Cascine Park.
