Artwork Description

"""Gelat’ is part of the ‘Public Glass’ collage series, which compile reclaimed display materials, gathered from cornershops and local food venues around London's street markets. The layers of used acrylic, handwritten signage, print outs and packaging form a ply of ‘public glass’, drawing tender and abstract portraits of the socially significant spaces they stem from. The windows of these small corner shops are usually make-shift displays of handwritten notes, sun-bleached print outs, colourful advertisements, public transport information and local announcements. The resulting composite laminate-artworks are a reverence and encouragement to writing, scratching or sticking information to the public glass panels of our cities to regain autonomy and ownership of those interfaces of the build environment, rather than delegating the power to announce to larger commercial entities."
