Anthony Burrill: Oil & Water Do Not Mix

01

Anthony Burrills screen print ‘Oil & Water Do Not Mix‘ is a prime example used in Dr Anna Powells lecture of semiotics. The print was actually made using washed up oil and sand on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico after the disaster. His idea gave a very strong message, not only in the actual text but the use of media supports this too. Using the oil and sand was a physical example to represent the contrast between the substances. It is quite powerful using contrast to show the seperation of the substances.
