Signs of Life exhibition | Redland Art Gallery | 4 Dec – 29 Jan

without comments

I’m having a small exhibition in the toilet corridor of a gallery far, far away … But, hey, you have to start somewhere, right?

This is the first time my stuff has been exhibited collectively in a solo show. Well, it’s the first time I’ve had enough stuff to constitute a show of any sort. It’s also the first time my work has been exhibited in a public gallery.

There’ll be the road sign stuff, along with new works in other media—again, multiples—plus some one-off textual assemblage things I’m calling “sign writing”.

Hope to see a few of you at the opening. Hope a few others can get along to see the exhibition. Would love your thoughts and feedback.

Check out the Signs of Life website.

Toddlers posit controversial new semiotic theory

without comments

Another parental Love Sign owner tells me when the kids see a stop sign, they yell “That’s my Love Sign!”

I’ve now heard this from several different friends with Love Signs and kids.

Makes me smile. Just hope it won’t have repercussions when kids reach driving age …
