Modernism had a great impact on both art and lifestyle in America and Europe, but in the UK it was, to some extent, diluted due to a general concern that it might have a damaging effect on national culture and tradition.
It is this notion of Englishness that interests Sarah Staton, particularly in reference to style, where the dilution of modernist ideals produced a 'populist pastiche modernist style solution'. This has since been championed through lifestyle magazines, TV decorating shows and lifestyle superstores such as IKEA.
Rather than creating an environment in her shed and focusing on its architectural function, Staton plays with its structural form, allowing it to become a sculptural object in its own right. The formal aspect hints at a modernist aesthetic but the interior floral decoration, the colour palette and the wooden structure seem more Better Homes than Bauhaus.
The play between high and low culture recurs throughout Staton's work. In 1993 she began a series of informal group shows called 'SupaStore'. These were site specific installations that presented artists' multiples and low-cost art works. Each project offered a miniature art experience which often re-presented previous works in different contexts. This enabled Staton to experiment with arrangements of work and the use of objects to make narratives.
Staton is an installation artist who uses non-gallery spaces and works with a variety of different media to navigate between memory and the present. She lives and works in Leeds.

i know, s/o/c etc are drawn sligtly over the boundaries for optics.. but these seem a bit extreme..

- Crouwel0
it could also be a font by henrik kubel. where did the site go?
- Crouwel0
i mean, henrik founded this design agency and he also designed fonts.
one of them is even called staton.if only i could find it..
- Crouwel0
it should be on this poster
http://www.fontworks4.type.co.uk… [2.1 mb]
- Crouwel0
yet it is not.
whatever happened to fontyoufonts?
- Crouwel0
i just checked acme and type.co.uk who could have it, but alas.
yet, since he designed a font called staton it is probably exclusively for the artist.
