  • Love Hate War ~ Brian Butler

    Published in The Newspaper, 2007 ( p. 25 )

    ‘Inside, Banner has culled together images from newspapers of fighter planes and helicopters from news reports on recent military actions. They have been cut out, identified and indexed in a scrapbook approach. The word ‘All’ in the title constructs a universe of totality, striving towards the control of achieving a complete collection, yet as any train-spotting mind will tell you, it is anything but complete.’

  • The Bastard Word

    Published in Now Magazine, 15 - 22 March 2007 ( VOL 26 NO 28 )

    Her new show, The Bastard Word, goes further into the forms of language and the language of forms, using fighter planes and the classic human nude as starting points to explore themes that have occupied her over the years: the seductive power of the image over the word in pop culture, the gap between language and object, the iconography of the military and the deployment of sexuality.
