YES - Art installation by St James Mill

This installation was commissioned by Jarrold, designed by Jessica Miles, George Payne and Kate Murphy, all second-year students at NUCA Fransham Forge, and installed in 2010. The small sculpture was created as part of an art programme commissioned by Jarrold, which is developing the St James Place business quarter, and had launched the St James Place Norwich University College of the Arts (NUCA) Student Award. The competition had the theme “font” in recognition of Jarrold's heritage as printers. St James Place used to house a large printworks and bindery and is home to the John Jarrold Printing Museum. Students had to explore the Bembo font, introduced in the 15th century by the Venetian printer Aldus Manutius, and used in the Jarrold logo. The students’ design was made from portions of the letters J, N, E, Q, S, L and G and while working on the piece, they realised that it spelt “yes”. The design, a good piece of graphics, is out of keeping with the scale of St James’s Mill. For a wider view see > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5931919.
