Alphabet Street

So I've been feeling a bit lost with this new project because I had so many ideas of what I would want to try...but I couldn't remember most of them when I got in the library today.


Took a wander round the library hoping an idea would throw itself at me, and thankfully a couple did....

I'm really interested in the work of Jenny Holzer....
















Her use of L.E.D. electronic display signboards are brilliant and witty. After researching her a bit more I found her pieces by her that I love ....

































Her projections of sentences onto buildings are amazing, but obviously I wouldn't be able to do organise something like that within 6 weeks :( but I do love the electronic boards :)









Another artist I am interested in is one wh does similar work to Holzer......

Barbara Kruger










Found a wee book too about lettering on ceramics so I'll see what I can come up with for that idea....

Stay tuned :D
