Ned Snider
Ned Snider was born and raised in Princeton, NJ. Early in his education at the Maryland Institute, College of Art, he became intrigued by letterforms and identity design. Implications of mark-making within different vernaculars became a focal point of Ned’s educational interests.
After working in NYC for 3 years, Ned ventured out to Michigan, where he attended the Cranbrook Academy of Art. There, he discovered a new visual infrastructure through which he could communicate.
This graphic dialect established itself through a culmination of interests in, and simultaneous disdain for, consumer-based ideologies. He found a particular fascination with what seems to be a common cycle of an impotent society, and it’s own fruitless quest of independence from itself.
The idea of a “cycle,” or “routine,” is also represented in the screen printing process which Ned employs for most of his work.
