Tracey Osborne uses objects which have already had a life, believing the history
embedded within the object contributes to the conversation. New things, things
without a history have no place in her lexicon.
In these particular works the words are laid out as they were posted on Facebook by
the young people Osborne works with; unedited, with no history or sub-text to give
them context. They are stitched on to school blazers which in themselves carry a
certain amount of social expectation.
The following two images show Tracey's work.
