SPOTLIGHT Charis Birchall
Alberta Craft Calgary Gallery
In “Spaces Between” Charis finds inspiration visualizing shapes using the negative space between words in printed blocks of text. She manipulates these shapes to create repeat patterns, which she prints onto fabric using a silkscreen.
A rebus is a type of riddle that combines images and individual letters to represent words or phrases. In the 19th century, French rebuses printed on ceramic plates became popular. These plates featured riddles about a wide range of themes, from moral lessons to social and political commentary.
