Niamh McCartney, 2009

Lorna Robertson — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:57:11 +0000

As with many of my poster works, Niamh McCartney explores the ‘use’ of products and purchasing decisions, and the relationship this economic activity has with emotive reactions and experiences. In line with these thoughts, I became interested in producing text objects as means of communication, exploring language in its printed form and presentational formats. The narratives emerge by drawing on the condition of the anecdote and the act of recollecting, sharing and passing on, particularly the crossing over between everyday fact and fiction and the area that exists between them.

This particular work is based on a story told to me by my friend Niamh McCartney, who received this offer from an intoxicated older man, whilst working in a clothes shop on the Irish Border.

Subsequently Niamh did not take him up on his offer.

Shredding is all about…

The work is made from a large sheet of paper which was manually shredded. Each strip was then folded outwards on a pre designed map to create the sentence ‘Shredding is all about the details’.

The sentence draws the importance of shredding personal details to avoid identity fraud. The undulating pattern at the bottom of the piece shows an abstract cityscape, the scene of the crime.

The Italic Poster

I was describing the poster to my parents the other day: ‘It’s like, you know how text sometimes is in italic, right? I’ve made the actual paper italicized as well, so it’s like a new format for posters. Dad: So.. what’s the big deal? Me: Frankly, I don’t know.
