About this work

Overview

Untitled is a digital print by Sue Williamson, created in 2000, and is part of a portfolio of thirty-one mixed media prints. It is held in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print combines a black-and-white photograph of a person sitting against a wall with a quote in yellow cursive text, which reads, 'It should be taken as a warning if someone doesn't want to see you and he makes you go to bed.' The juxtaposition of image and text creates a sense of unease and tension.

Technique & Style

The artwork features a somber and contemplative mood, achieved through the use of black-and-white photography and the inclusion of graffiti on the wall in the background. The contrast between the timeless quality of the photograph and the urban grit of the graffiti adds complexity to the piece.
