The Impossibility of Silence is a book for artists, designers and photographers interested in approaching writing about their vocation and culture.
Drawing upon decades of experience as a writer, designer, artist, teacher and director of a Tokyo-based design studio, Ian Lynam provides a wide range of inspirational and concrete approaches to writing about creative fields.
The book is born from Lynam’s own methodology which mines a rich intersection of graphic design, design education and design research and well as lessons learned not only as a creator but as a critic.
