This print, Sfogliatelle (a type of Italian pastry and meaning 'many leaves/layers')
continues
to explore a sculptural work Facades/Flats that Emily Speed made in
Rome in
2012. Façades/Flats looked at the layers of theatrical façades that
exist
within a
city, especially those whose bricks, design or size communicate power and
clearly
signify exclusion. Speed is also interested in the ever-changing nature of
cities
and how quickly buildings appear and disappear. In the print, several layers do
not
really exist; they are made using only negative space and hopefully create a
slippery
space that one can never be totally certain about.
