David Noonan- Spiel

The room in the Mitchell library is very particular and the white walls, though tall, dont cover the opulence of the building higher up which can distract from the exhibition. This was my only concern though. The white walls were intermittently cut by pinkish brown hessian, making both look more purposeful. The hessian looks soft and mimics the colour of the printed wooden cut outs that stand large in the room. When you get closer to them you realise this is because they too are hessian, printed onto so that close up the pictures become pixellated by the texture of the fabric. The cut outs are huge but because they are flat they leave an absence in the room too which is curious. They look marvellous and inspire my imagination. One looks like a huge deformed Guy Fawkes, another a mix between a flag and a strange monster, with human feet poking out the bottom. Theres obviously a story, somewhere slightly more towards revolution than celebration, but its never fully revealed and Im excited by the denial of a definite answer. The cut outs stand as if on a stage in a play that each person has an outcome for.
