Olivia Steele
Can words form a picture?
A native of Nashville, and a resident of London, Olivia’s works as a conceptual
artist with neon lights drawing ironic attention to the past, the present, and
the pictures in our head. - The slogans of propaganda often form contradictions.
- As well as her response: “Paradise is where I am” written in neon over the old
communist slogan translated: ”The Life to the people. The future to Communism,”
found here in the old the minting factory from the former East German socialist
times. She seems to know what it takes to make the world go round, while being
inside, and outside the box at the same time. She may reveal our helplessness to
change the big picture at once, but encourages us to make small personal steps
that sum up in the end.
