In Velveteen, Ali Noble builds on a vocabulary of shapes, colours and materials that has been evolving through more than a decade of practice. This language is arcane and hieroglyphic, but its letterforms are playful: arabesques, crescents, vaults or aqueducts, rounded scallops like cartoon clouds. These elements are organised without pre-planning into inventions of the subconscious – that great underground city, pushing its spires up into consciousness. Noble’s compositions in Velveteen describe strange machines, diagrams or circuitry that appear to open and close, producing droplets: tears, sweat, blood.
