About
Concerning the work, I'm thinking about . . .
The remote location and context of the gallery/ bus stop
The death posters - because they are a given
Waiting for Godot - because you can't not
So - Death and Waiting and Absurdity
and language - because I don't speak Italian
Language
So if I jumble up all the letters and numbers of the alphabet we can create anybody's death poster - the poster
[I'm going to make a tumbleweed ball of letters to roll and film in the landscape and leave there to decay in the elements]
So - text, pictures, symbols and signs
Signs
[I'm going to make a series of signs to be placed on and around the site]
The signs will look 'real' at first glance - informative - but will be poetic
Poetry
The signs will be about looking up, travelling upwards, ascending [title- Ascend]
Angels
