ITV Creates Commission

Made:       2019

Shown:    ITV Channel 

Commissioned by curator Charlie Levine for ITV, this work formed part of a year-long programme inviting 52 artists to reimagine the broadcaster’s on-screen identity. Selected as Week 9 artist, I was tasked with translating a fleeting, functional graphic into a lasting sculptural form.

Responding to ITV’s cue mark, a rotating black-and-white device signalling the transition into advertisement, I developed a work that extends this moment of interruption into something physical, spatial, and materially present. What is typically glanced over in seconds becomes slowed down, examined, and reconfigured.

The resulting sculpture uses light and shadow to echo the rhythm of broadcast—movement, pause, anticipation, transforming a graphic language into an immersive, perceptual experience.

By shifting the 'ident' from screen to object, the work questions how visual culture is consumed: what we notice, what we ignore, and how even the most utilitarian imagery can hold aesthetic and conceptual weight when given time and form.
