Text and Numbers
A group exhibition at Pablo Fanque
9 September – 4 October 2008
The digital age is seeing letters and numbers anew, with words and equations taking on a decorative role.
a.l.i.Alexander is interested in chemical formulas and map coordinates detailing her equations on rings and things, Richard Burns reconstructs and reframes the discarded flotsam and jetsam of life, Lucy Folk details her obsession with food by stamping her favourite Pasta recipes into sterling silver, Madhulika Ghosh reveals her Buddhist influences by embossing Tibetan script on to fine porcelain vessels, Melbourne artist Nicholas Jones tears pages of books to create entwined sculptures; Erin Keys’ steel and silver brooches illustrate her fascination with the visually complex Asemic language; Darren O’Brien wheel throws ceramic ware and applies the markings found on the roads and pavements around him; Brisbane ceramic artist Mel Robson writes her favourite recipes such as that for pumpkin scones on paper thin porcelain vessels; selected sonnets by Pablo Neruda have been immortalized on rings created by Rik Juod; Deb Taylor delights in the play of words and uses them provocatively on her neckpieces.
