THREE is a series of exhibitions from the second year Fine Art Students at Falmouth University. Held in the Project Space on Woodlane campus, these shows aim to showcase the work made this year by the students. For this show I entered some existing works; two etchings produced on the road, responding to movement and seen text. INSCRIBED ACTIVITY.
Dysfunctions between language and is visual adapts primary inability. Alternative engaging work reveals she leads alternative communication. Translation of visual abstracts decipher the means, identifies with it the visual presence as primary in Coward’s visual communication. Of marks presence communication is the readable. Writing activity transforms reading- primary reveals all. Rachael Coward’s work highlights the inability of communication and the dysfunctions of language. Language is infinite, and writing is a visible system that transforms abstract concepts into readable data. Working as a translator, she identifies means of alternative communication through processes of abstraction. She creates bodies of ‘text’ that challenge the conventions of reading; a physical activity that adapts to visual obstacles. Inscribed marks serve as visual prompts to the audience that blur the boundaries between writing and drawing. Illegibility leads to a primary function as a visual tool. Engaging with her work it is an activity of both seeing and reading- close examination reveals the presence of words, but it is a matter of translation to pick out and decipher these words. Despite language having a visual presence in her work, not all of the work is visible.
