Nikolai Suvanto

I'm curious about the disconnect between how things are meant to work and how they actually land. I'm an art director based in Toronto. I have a not-so-small obsession with archiving and documenting (saving articles, screenshots, references, half-formed thoughts) which is really just a habit of paying close attention to the world before I'm asked to say something about it. That tends to show up in my work.
