Mum gave me a Scrabble set for Christmas this year, no it's not like that; I really wanted one. Despite this, the holidays were a difficult time, my worst day was when I used "food" and "at" in the same game, without even a double letter score. "Motif" day, on the other hand, was good, attracting a collective "aaah" from the other players.
Elvis Richardson must have had many good days during the holidays. For her solo show Televisuals Salute Elvis, she has used twelve anagrams as the basis for a series of paintings. The paintings, like television test patterns, act as code, ornament and even opiate. Elvis manipulates objects and images, which are markers of a particular time and place. She collects and references objects from op shops that, whilst foreign, are strangely familiar. Sure to elicit an "aahh", if not a triple word.
