Momentarily Sacred

Whilst indulging in the archival practice of collecting plastic bags from a beauty shop in Wood Green that reminded her of Hedkandi illustrations from her childhood and documenting each confusing change of a sign outside a local church, Rosie began writing two short stories. ‘OM’ and ‘The Man with the Owl City Tattoo’ are about the often-comical encounters that can arise from provisional dating. This led to an interesting exploration of what we decide to hold dear and what we decide to let go of when getting to know a stranger. Rosie and Frankie decided to work on ‘Momentarily Sacred’ together as an act of making a permanent artefact about the feeling of impermanence. Pairing together Rosie’s short stories and Frankie’s artwork. Frankie’s art features distorted iconographies, cutesy motifs and commonly overlooked objects of interest, repurposed through scanning.
