Sandra Kaji O’Grady: Boding

Sandra Kaji O’Grady has a background in architecture and philosophy that is borne out in both conceptual rigour and precision of execution. Through her artistic practice she investigates overlaps and gaps between text-based systems of meaning and visual codes. Referencing misprints, camouflage, patterns of interference, commercial signage and skywriting, she explores the limits of textual legibility. In Boding she focuses on the communication and monitoring of risk and danger that extends from the banal trip hazard through to existential catastrophe. Using collage, digital printmaking, installation, hardedge abstraction, and trompe l’oeil painting, humour and joy is brought to bear on a landscape of fear.
