Pauline Clancy is PhD researcher and an Associate Lecturer in BDes Hons Art and Design at Ulster University, Belfast, Northern Ireland. She is also an Associate Fellow of the Research Institute of Art and Design at Ulster University. Her typographic practice explores the relationship between typography and language and typography and place. Experimental typography is used as a means to generate typographic images where cropped elements and overprinted areas create other abstract forms. While finished artefacts are important, the experimental/making process is of equal importance, where the process also becomes the outcome. In 2013, she graduated with MFA in Multidisciplinary Design (Graphic Design) from Ulster University. Previously she worked in Design Factory, Dublin. She is also a member of the International Society of Typographic Designers.
