I have created relief characters of texts from Australian postmodern artists and Dada artist Magritte, using white hand building clay ceramics combined with silk-screen printing underglazes.
Our eye unconsciously deciphers words or whole texts and cannot embrace its aesthetics. I have blurred the edges between legibility and illegibility, following the work of Richard Tipping and Rosalie Gascoigne, to form a capricious and visually challenging artwork.
