Can’t Say Nothing (Lorem Ipsum, Moving Patterns)
Jan 17
– Jan 31 2020
exhibitionfestival feature
Using Lorem Ipsum text and the Photoshop background, ‘Can’t Say Nothing’ turns signifiers of blankness into overlapping patterns, which are printed, mounted and stitched together. ‘Can’t say Nothing’ is a mixed media installation drawing from textile art, collage, painting, graphic design and sculpture. ‘Can’t say Nothing’ investigates the way systems of language, symbols and design affect meaning, and wonders: if even the expression of absence is so heavily coded, is it possible to express oneself without external mediation, and to what extent is it possible to truly “say nothing” at all?
