These works are durational and iterative. Collected over months each dot, box or line is as specific as the text from which it was lifted. Each fragment of newsprint drags its original context with it. Like a hypertext link it points back to a significant ‘elsewhere’. The conspiracy of clippings in Dots 1 and 2 are charged, battery-like. Here the traffic signals of an erased text kick about, no longer inconspicuous but full of potential.

 

Alex is working with newsprint ephemera. Fleeting design anomalies that evolve over periods and then disappear again could be seen to impose restraints on her practice. She has made a number of pieces over the last two years using horizontal rules cut from The Independent newspaper. These lines were first black, then colour coded and now gone. The work is a growing archive of marks and signs barely registered by the average reader. 

 

• Alex uses Pritt Stick glue. This has now been certified acid free. This product was shown, in a sketch for the UK comedy show Little Britain, being sniffed by stereotypical ‘chav’ character Vicky Pollard, as a spoof on glue sniffing. 

• Since July 2010 she has been gluing the newsprint fragments to Alphamat Artcare board, supplied by Nielsen Bainbridge. This has been shown to considerably retard the aging process of low-quality items such as newsprint. Before that conservation standard board was used.

• All works are framed using high-spec UV glass: Mirogard Plus supplied by Glass and Mirror and ClearColour PLUS UV supplied by Nielsen Bainbridge.
