Icon was created from a found symbol intended for re-appropriation. Details were redrawn, cut out by hand to become a stencil (intended for street art) and then transferred to screenprint.
The Icon is a symbol that began in 2012, at first as a painting (see below, left) while arranging a series of symbols from medieval flags and historical, symbols.
Icon represents direction, navigation, identity and emergence. The symbol was printed in a very short number of this size (left) and became an "icon" that appeared in the Moons video.
A decision was made to designate this symbol to the Whote project and a smaller version of the work was issued with the finished Black Box edition of the Moons record (no longer available). |
