Leap Into It

Leap Into It

"The Future is only dark from outside - Leap into it, and it explodes with Light." - Mina Loy

From her manifesto Aphorisms on Futurism, first published in Camera Work issue 45 in January of 1914. Loy was a fierce progressivist both politically and creatively. She was associated with all the major art movements of the early twentieth century, and had a brief affair with both Futurism and its leader Filippo Marinetti. 

In this design, we wanted to create something aggressively vibrant, giving it a sense of movement as you read the words. 

A copy of the original published poem, now preserved in Yale's Beinecke Library can be seen here.

About Us

Obvious State is a creative studio and independent press founded by Nichole and Evan Robertson in 2011. We make bold, conceptual art that makes you think again.

In the age of clickbait, infotainment, and overstimulation, slow thought has become a luxury. Our work exists to change that. Every piece is handcrafted by Evan — art and language that provoke thought, inspire curiosity, and make the ideas that have always mattered feel urgent again.

Our books and prints are available in our shop and in bookstores and boutiques nationwide.

Our work has been featured at The Folger Shakespeare Library, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The American Writers Museum, The Emily Dickinson Museum, The Library of Congress, The Getty Museum, The Museum of Contemporary Art and more.
