Logo,
In Articulate Turns One at Articulate project space
The sparkle and glitter of Christmas looms large and brassily in all our shops, live to the Christmas spending frenzy. Here I place stars and trees in a grid- like pattern, pushing them up against themselves and flattening them out in the form of a logo or flag- a mute operative opposing the glint that leaps from its surface. As I did this I began to think of the stars and stripes of Jasper Johns flag paintings and his use of serial repetition. In contrast to John’s paintings, the materials are devoid of texture, resulting in an emptying out of meaning
‘My first ever visit to Articulate Project Space just so happens to be their first birthday celebrations, Articulate Turns One! So I had to go.
WOW! Great space and some great Art, stepped through the door and was taken aback. ‘Logo’, moulded plastic by Sue Callanan is fantastic, love the rich colour and love the continuous use of the shapes, stands out like a sore thumb that it’s Christmas but it’s more, it has it’s own sleek ageless beauty and is one of my favourites.’
