An introduction can be a wonderful thing. You can meet interesting people, and make new friends. You can be introduced to your new favorite foods, books, music, or artist.
I’d like to introduce you to some of my favorite artists. Some of whom I’ve been familiar with for years, and others I’ve only recently been introduced to.
The person I’d like to introduce is the artist Alex Dipple.

“I made an installation for LINE DRIFT LOCI at Campbell Works 2013.
It comprised ping pong balls sprayed black in a single line dissecting the space. It is a continuation of my text box series and based on observations of printed matter.
This is a composite photograph I took of the installation. It was so large it was tricky to photograph as a whole object.” AD
Alex Dipple lives in Hackney, United Kingdom.

“Alex Dipple is captivated by the transitory architecture of newspapers and periodicals. Punctuation, and visual tools such as ‘info graphics’ and the use of colour, that are intended to help readers navigate and prioritize content, become the subject of her work. Text boxes, horizontal rules and punctuation are sliced from their source and distilled into dense microbial groups. The clippings are arranged into chains, or fill spaces that hint of much larger spaces.
