Chris De Rosa, James Dodd, Honor Freeman, Sarah Goffman, Troy-Anthony Baylis

19 - 26 November, 2008

These works are representative of my continued investigations into found text such as graffiti and their application within a visual arts practice. Monographs, encrypted symbols and acronyms feature heavily throughout the raw material that I collect. I am particularly interested in creating imitations of the surfaces and types of marks that can be found in urbanzones

These monographs will remain ambiguous, it is up to the viewer to determine,
from their experience, whether they are recognisable or new.
