For these works my main influences are:
- Jenny Holzer – her statements stuck on walls
- Cristina Daura – illustrations, surrealism
- Hastings & Quinlan – narrative compositions, political
In terms of the Clutter Show, I have been struggling with trying to find a suitable format for a gallery show. I have considered arranging the grids in a frame and hanging on a wall. But it feels complicated getting the framing done, and how it affects the work itself – somehow it seems against the feeling of the work.
I often think the grids would best exist as social media postings, especially considering their immediacy. I try to post them on SM often but they get little to no response, so maybe I’m wrong about this.
I think – as with Jenny Holzer – in a gallery context they are best displayed by sticking to a wall, in a matrix layout. This way they should look good together – especially if they each share the same dimensions – and the colour coding will hopefully become apparent.
