big talk III

7th - 28th August 2023

Glass Box Gallery, South Bank

big talk II is a new iteration in a continuing contemplation of line, form, and composition of the alphabet through screenprinting processes. Decontextualised letter forms are here magnified and pulled apart, leaving no regard for the restraints of the paper, and instead declaring their own composition in the space. The mechanical intervention of the silkscreen process serves as a transfer, a transformation, a translation of the marks. Drawn and printed by hand, they are abstracted and converted from recognisable patterns and scale. These almost-letters float and become their own, an almost-spelling, a loud garble.

Screenprint on paper and wall. Installation 234 x 470 x 254cm.
