Jill Malek: Frequencies

Posted on November 30, 2007 Under Design

To many people, wallpaper is just paper you put on your wall to make it look like you possess some flair for interior decoration. However, if those same people were to take one look at Frequencies, the latest line of handscreened wallpaper by Brooklyn-based Graphic Designer at Jill Malek, they'd see that it has the potential to be a living breathing entity, or at least mirror the behavior of one. Taking her cues from the frequencies, cycles in surrounding nature, such as precipitation, the sounds of crashing waves, the human heartbeat, the phases of the moon and the stages of animal life; Malek's remarkable creations capture the essence of many natural occurrences we may take for granted by mimicking their fluctuating patterns and using metallic and tone on tone colors that are certain to bring even the most dull of domiciles to life.
