A Grin for Every Occasion
A smile, a smirk, a laugh, a beam, a grin, a twitch, a glitch, a tickle of the face, a relaxed brow?
Does the mouth ‘leak’ to broadcast unintended signals and feelings? Bared teeth, the emblem of beaming happiness, may also signify other face-to-face gestures, conveying subtle, simmering emotions other than joy. The vocabulary arising from the flashing of teeth is fluid, varying across cultures and society. Masked emotions in public recently gave way to uniformed face masking, and to discussions via the screen. What potential lies in these primal signals in an increasingly intangible world?

Sankrit Kulmanochawong is much inspired by the sense of lived realities; looking up close at the everyday. What voices emerge from a body of multiples? The subtle influences and the loud ones. A certain idea and forms associated with it does not sprout out of nothingness, but rather from dense layers of history, chances and connected thoughts. There are many fascinating details, little gems or cultural clashes that often get left unnoticed in the busyness of it all. With these thoughts in mind, he attempts to facilitate them, and sometimes they arrive and take forms of a publication, or a typeface, and also inchoate visual sketches.
