RE-CONTEXTUALISATION RATIONALE
The aim was to confound expectation; in a rapidly changing media environment, (Hosier Lane) where work is painted over frequently, we opted for a return
to the traditional.

A play on the other visual media in a location often classifed as an artist space, the message is framed, which offers alternate meanings and questions whether the message is/not art.

The positioning of this statement also calls into question the meaning of ‘reading’, transposing it from a literary to a visual context.

ANALYSIS
The reaction to this installation was extremely positive, due to the reputation
of this location as an ‘art space’. The average passer by displayed a mixture
of respect, admiration and genuine intrigue.

A number of people stopped to take photos of the two locations - one person
got in the photo and had someone take one of him – like a tourist attraction. Conversations regarding the nature of the installation and the ideas behind
it were met with interest and encouragement.
