The serif is often overlooked and under-appreciated, it hangs onto the edges of letters to increase ease of reading, yet we often don’t acknowledge its existence. "Serif" (2021) is an appreciation of its hard work. This work shows a large scale letter S falling off the edge of the work. Is it the start of a word that we cannot see or is it an object in its own right? Using traditional sign painting techniques, Gala has created depth, shadow and beauty out of something mundane that we see everyday.
