Edition of 6
For The Hepworth Wakefield, Michael Dean has created a jacket adorned with emoji patches, which spell out LOL on both front and reverse. Drawn to the evolution of the acronym LOL (laughing out loud) and its development into the ‘laugh-out-loud-to-the-point-of-crying’ emoji, Dean has incorporated these motifs into much of his recent work. Somewhere between picture and word, the acronym and emoticon combined allow us to consider how we contain and communicate emotion in our increasingly digital world.
