Voyage Savannah Interview 

From the barrier islands of Savannah Georgia, Patrick Dimond seeks inspiration from the natural world and energies around him. He developed his practice through bookmaking, branding, and publication design at Appalachian State University where he graduated magna cum laude with a BFA in Graphic Design. 

With a keen eye for detail, Dimond creates for fulfillment, not just expectation. He enjoys building trust in team environments and understanding how the creative processes of his peers contribute to successful design. He aims to provoke emotion within his audience, creating a safe space that encourages individualism and tests the bonds between intimacy and art.

With experience serving as the Art Director of The Collective Magazine, Dimond led editorial design projects that involved input from creatives across the disciplines of fashion, photography, and journalism. He has grown accustomed to designing communication systems that do not distract from the variety of content included in the works, further executed through his role as head publication designer for Liminal Figures, his undergraduate cohort’s capstone exhibition catalogue.

The atmosphere created when people of the same passion come together draws his attention towards working for cultural institutions, particularly environments where he will design for causes larger than himself.

Personal Projects:


Cyclops

Cyclops is a hand-carved, 20” X 16” woodblock relief print about reincarnation and karmic cycles. The figure occupying the rectangular space is structured and calculated, yet the organic movements of the fins symbolize breaking old patterns and what’s expected from you.


Fly By



Camellia Place

You’ve got to like it on the inside even if you aren’t being paid, or if no one’s ever going to see it in person. Even if no one understands why you chose to do it this way. If no one knows how many days it took to pick out that light, why it couldn’t have been another one because it would clash with the shape and material of that table you also picked for a reason. Why that plant is there and not in the sunnier window because it’s too dry on that side of the house. There’s a lot of work to show, but at the same time, it’s not how I’m used to packing things up and handing it to someone to get reimbursed afterwards. It’s a space and an energy that restores me.
