SYMBOLS ON SUSSEX STREET 02/07/2025
The distinctive symbolic artwork seen on several walls is the work of Signs of Power, the professional name for the Dublin-based artist Vanessa Power. She was one of the official artists commissioned for the 2021 Dún Laoghaire Anseo festival. The description of her work as "hieroglyphic" is an insightful observation of its visual effect. Power is a lettering artist and sign painter who merges the traditional craft with a modern, pop-art aesthetic. The symbols are not derived from ancient scripts but are part of a unique, stylised alphabet she has developed.
