Conditions · Open Edition Prints
24 × 40 in · Xerox print
The Conditions are the environmental forces of Strange Companions: the pressures, atmospheres and circumstances that shape an experience before anyone has had the chance to explain it properly.
Each Condition is built from Bramble Lee Pryde’s original visual language for Strange Companions. More than 350 paintings, ink works, drawings, marks and collaged fragments were created during the development of the project, then repeatedly combined, altered and reorganized across the Oracle Deck, Field Guide and exhibition. The lettering throughout the work comes from typefaces hand-created by the artist specifically for the project.
Originally held at the scale of the 42-card Oracle Deck, the ten Conditions were enlarged for Strange Companions: Still Here into oversized Xerox works spanning the gallery walls.
The scale changes the reading.
Something designed to fit in your hand becomes environmental. Marks, fragments and handwritten language move into the room at the scale of the body. You are no longer simply looking at the Condition. You are standing inside its field.
The open editions retain the same deliberately low-brow material logic as the exhibition works: 24 × 40 inches, printed on standard bond paper by Xerox.
Hundreds of hand-made marks. Several years of visual language, and they look extremely good framed.
24 × 40 inches
