Vote No. 1
(2009)
The concept for Vote No. 1 was originally born during the heady political campaigns that characterized the run up to the local and European elections held throughout Ireland on June 05th 2009. Almost every lamppost and unoccupied space nationwide was adorned with a wealth of curious portraits, skillful catchphrases and promises-promises. The work set out to illustrate the omnipresence of such imagery in the landscape, but equally cast a jocular eye on the orientation of the placards, utilizing preexisting fixtures such as traffic lights, lampposts, ‘human traffic’, to render a new manner of reading.
