Readymade Post-it notes lightly stuck to a door - an in-between surface of restriction and opportunity - act as a protest through the subversion of original purpose. Confrontational with colour, the work is a fluttering reminder of how power filters through to the everyday; a seemingly innocent piece of paper can embody a passive-aggressive position and physically induce stress on the body. Politics of the office effect the personal - who really decides the pixels of daily organisation? Left to fall with chance, a litter of beauty chooses its own journey.
