Jade Walsh - "Car cover for a Wedding" (from my joke fabric)



I translate heartbreak, longing and immediate emotional states through visual art and bring humour to difficult subjects such as singledom. Fuelled by my own experience and the people in my life I explore intimate dialogue in the private and public domain and how print media can be used to incorporate my writing, language, photography and drawing.

The car cover is part of a series of works called my joke fabric - which uses the screenprint medium to print text from the beginning of a joke, my poems or my friends’ conversations and turns them into a commercially applied form; competition ribbons hung as if over the recipient, pinned onto a chest, or in this case re-interpreting the traditional and romantic form of the white ribbon on the bonnet of a bridal car.
