Review: M16's Counterpart, Oak Tree and Up are varied and interesting
Tess Horwitz's work is characterised by a powerful graphic language that is clear, confronting and direct. The thrust of her didactic dialogue is summed up in Deadly Sins (Cat.19), a diagrammatic collation aligning the 7 deadly sins with aspects of human intervention into the environment. The efficacy of the artist's message is eloquent in its simplicity and damning in its message. The wall works are an admixture of the political with the aesthetic. The message is overtly plain. Horwitz minces no words in assuring that her viewpoint "takes no prisoners".
