(Letter forms): When art, language and graphics collide
Docklands Library
Oct 29 – Nov 23, 2025
We take communication for granted in our day-to-day surroundings; words, silent iconography and urban typography inundate us every day; these sculptures place a spotlight on this silent but ever-present language.
When creating most of my sculptures I try to make letters combine and intertwine so that we lose sight of the letterform and start to see them differently. My sculptures are predominantly made of disused signage so as to become new sculptural forms. They reflect on our letter heavy world and make us view our typographic landscape in a new way. They also remind us that once signage is used what happens with it? I suspect mostly thrown away.
These sculptures have allowed me to explore many themes and create small scenarios, like ‘Fairy Lights’ – a small corner of a pond with all the noises surrounding it. ‘It’s written in the stars’ – the very simple idea of looking up into the sky at night and staring at the stars but instead of stars it’s the word ITS; my fun little play on words. My latest piece called ‘Word’ which I’ve actually had in the back of my mind for years; now seemed like the perfect time to create and show. What better place than a library to show language?!
My sculptures from “Let’s call a Nang, a Nang” series actually contain used nitrous oxide cannisters from a box that was thrown away in Docklands – there were 50 cannisters in total. Since creating this series, the use of nitrous oxide in Melbourne has become far more dire, no longer satisfied with 7.8g cannisters they are now purchasing 3.3 litre tanks. Some Australian states are starting to crackdown on its use which is great but education is the key.
Most pieces come with a story so if you’d like to know more just follow the links below:
