Liberty

An unusual, bold and founded visual interpretation of a modern classic – which pushes its meanings in ways that help us rethink present-day political concerns to do with migration, labour and the prison.

• Features art that is a combination of abstract and figurative elements, inspired by Surrealist ephemera and typography, in which the image completes the meaning of the text.
• An assemblage of modern hieroglyphics, which record, narrate and annotate texts and contexts.
• A self-conscious tribute to the archive – which stores and transmits value and beauty over time, so that past art and text might be read and renewed for other times.
• An example of inspired silkscreen-printing – where the silkscreened image has been carefully created, through the use of fine-mesh screens and a subtle overlay of colours.
