Season's Greeting Card 1947

Sue Fuller created this print, titled "Season's Greeting Card," in 1947. It features an intriguing interplay of textures and forms, dominated by the geometric grid and delicate, lace-like patterns. The vibrant colours, including yellows, pinks, and teals, create a visually striking and harmonious balance. Fuller's composition challenges traditional notions of depth and perspective. The grid in the background flattens the space, while the intricate doily patterns add a layer of complexity. This push and pull between flatness and depth destabilizes fixed categories of representation, creating an almost unsettling sense of space. The semiotic system at work here combines domestic, handmade elements with geometric abstraction. It could be interpreted as Fuller questioning the values associated with craft and domesticity by placing them within a modernist framework. This print underscores how Fuller used formal elements to prompt re-interpretations of everyday objects and cultural codes.
