Concept
The interpretations encounter political statements or disperse cultural observations; correspondence that is not immediate but perhaps depends on the contingencies of travel. Subversive systems of posting and collecting dialogue create the emergence of new narratives that are shared and reacted upon through hybrid texts, images and temporary ownership. Show cased as a touring exhibition at Broadwalk Arts, Bristol then at The Willesden Gallery, London, the works continue to explore language, visual interchange and systematic dialogues.

Tabitha Moses, UK 'Greetings From The Seaside' Limited edition letterpress postcards
…Greetings from the Seaside, a series of postcards detailing morbid murders. The work’s potency is derived from the text, from the ‘rustle in the hedgerow’ implications of something nasty lurking beneath the candyfloss comfyness of little Englander pleasure lands. These postcards have, nevertheless been carefully designed, the paper they are printed on, the choice of lettering and a single embossed black line perfectly suggest both old postcards from the 1930’s and funeral announcements…
