Nancy Skolos and Thomas Wedell work to diminish the boundaries between graphic design and photography—creating collaged three-dimensional images influenced by modern painting, technology, and architecture. With a home/studio in Providence they balance their commitments to professional practice and teaching at the Rhode Island School of Design. The studio’s work came into its own during the 1980s with clients in Boston where the developing high technology industry opened opportunities to develop a graphic language for many intangible inventions. The team’s surreal photographic concepts combined with rational typographic structures gave voice to concepts such as “software” and made room for abstraction. A 1993 Eye Magazine feature on the studio labelled their attitude “techno-cubist.” Over the span of their career their approach has evolved, and their client base has expanded but their passion for combining photography and graphic design, has remained the foundation of their vision.
