AMLgMTD

AMLgMTD is the collaborative team of artists/designers Laz Ojalde and Natalie Zlamalova. AMLgMATD combines Zlamalova’s geometric abstract forms and Ojalde’s functional and aesthetic ideals. Ojalde is a mixed media artist whose inspiration comes from the love of the everyday object; the mundane, the functional, the gimmicky to the refined. His excitement is in reinterpreting them into new forms defined by the base principle of reduction and simplicity, while not diminishing the objects initial function. Zlamalova is a mixed media artist who explores the crossroads between the states of being asleep and awake—the hypnagogic state. Her ink washes are illogical and coincidental and contrast her hand-constructed geometric lines and patterns—the logical and the premeditated. She uses dreams, instinct and graphic design elements in her works that are developed through coincidence, chance and strict repetition through a process that in the end becomes more important than the result.
