Ziggy Stardust

This wall-mounted panel is comprised of a grid of brightly coloured squares containing letters, resembling a crossword puzzle or a game of Scrabble. Coupland has used this structure to make pop culture references ranging from the book and film Fight Club to cult figure Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie's alter ego.

As a writer and visual artist, Coupland has often disregarded the traditional divide between these disciplines. Using letters, words and books as material and content for his art, Coupland harnesses the power of language in the visual realm.
