A Continuous Line of Dashes and Hyphens, 2006

A Continuous Line of Dashes and Hyphens, 2006

details about this work


Alex Dipple is based in Brighton, South East


Alex Dipple is captivated by the transitory architecture of newspapers and periodicals. The conspiracy of clippings in Dots 1 & 2 are charged, battery-like. These tiny fragments of newsprint establish contact with obscure documents. The traffic signals of an erased text kick about, no longer inconspicuous but full of potential.
