29 silkscreen prints on Stonehenge paper

Each 57 x 38cm, installation 153 x 343cm

Stripped of all common context, the letters of the English alphabet float across the expanse of each white page in this work, void of aim or sequence. Repetition alienates each form from its usual associations using the serial reproduction of screen printing. The grid installation implies order yet reveals unrecognisable patterns, obstructing clear readings of the work.

Here meaning is decentred, the focus instead being the material forms of letters and the literality of language. I challenge the viewer to see and listen to each form. The physical act of writing is divorced from any legible connotations or implications, eliminating the sole purpose of the alphabet: to construct meaning.
