REVIEW OF 'PRESENCE-ABSENCE' BY LYDIA PANG

A great piece of writing by Lydia Pang about my most recent major body of work for the exhibition 'Presence-Absence', which has been posted on the blog Aching for Everything. To read the full article please click here.

'...Alida Sayer’s work stood out as it really embodied, rather than merely evoked, the tension between permanence and intangibility. Her dynamic typographic works demonstrated a sense of delicacy in time, fragility and relevance. She provides a visual representation of individual encounters with states of reality. Her pieces have a sense of permanence; delicate yet bold stacks of complex sheeting are sliced and seemingly placed in bulk and stunning exactitude. They connote a tone of eerie precision, obsession and physicality. We feel we are viewing the hands of the author on the pages, their physical presence is mirrored on a table reflecting the object whilst the text, which explores narratives of trauma, stains the pages with its repetition.'
