- Description
- The installations and singular works I construct utilize; texts, pictographs and materials appropriated from; public and comercial advertisements, informational road signs and international symbols. I question the authority of signage by revealing its potential for a humorous reading through the simple manipulation of its context and physical arrangement within space and time. All of the works get their start in the outside world of public experience and are then transformed by their passage through my land of imagination. Out of this process of exchange I present to an audience what I consider to be sculptural poems that investigate my position within social and cultural hierarchies while designating them as subjects for play. Shelley Ouellet - Images are created using positive and negative space. In the digital world, images, sound, movement and space are expressed with a language of on or off. This language and technology allow me to draw the image and place it within a particular space or medium. Digital technology also allows me to plan and mathematically organize the execution of an image on screen and three dimensional space. In this process, technology is a tool to enhance and promote the results of visable labour.
