This innovative series merges craftsmanship with digital art and debuted at Asprey Studio in London as part of the Frieze London art fair. The full collection will be available on the Asprey Studio website by the end of November.
The Esc Keys collection draws inspiration from the pixelated designs of her early Macintosh work. It features playful designs, such as an alien face, a tortoise, and a “panic!” button.
