Through Processing, I inserted the content of the poster (title, date, time, location) into the code of an image of the angel statue from the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. This process resulted in a corruptive nature which correlates to the theme of this opera and was carried through various poster designs and print and digital advertisements.

What’s a Skiffle?
The name of § was influenced by the music genre, Skiffle. Familiar to few, Skiffle music is often played using improvised spirit and music instruments alike. When happening upon the word and musical world of Skiffle, Marshall felt a great kinship between the essence of Skiffle and her own design processes which often involve improvising, playing and exploring different mediums and techniques.
