Cutting Edge Design

For the cutting edge contemporary design this week I chose a piece by David Carson.
The text is a horizontally rotated Einstein quote reading: "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." This beguiling quote is flipped, so it could many different meanings. It could possibly be suggesting the reverse of what Einstein said: "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality.." They are certain? "...and as far as they are..." not certain, "...they do..."-"refer to reality."
Just as the quote is something for your brain to chew on the picture behind the text is also an example of some tasty eye candy. Only orange was used in the rasterization of this photo but the form of the dolphins can still be seen because of the water and wet skin. The energetic form of the photo paired with the black void of the flat ink, it all makes for an interesting and dynamic picture.
