TOWARDS A NEW ICONOGRAPHY
2009
Screen Prints
30" x 160" (overall as set of 7)
Signage and graphic identities have permeated the contemporary urban landscape to the point where they can command the same cultural and iconographic significance as the architecture once created with that goal in mind.
These symbols (logos, graphic identities and signs, along with architecture, infrastructure) have taken on equal weight within our visual lexicon of the city. This series of prints creates a dialogue between the monument and the banal, the icon and the eyesore- and blurs the lines between them by removing detail, shifting scale, and merging them with each other.
