The Sound of a Space Being Divided Against Its Will

Applique text on cotton flag, 60 x 36 in.

December 3–10, 2018

Part of the group show, Playing in the Dark, this text piece takes the form of lettering appliqued onto a black flag. The lack of movement from the flag and the playful nature of the language—is there such a thing as a space making a sound as it is divided?—creates a kind of anti-sound piece. The statement, combined with the stillness of the object, encourages the viewer to consider both the properties of spaces and the possibility of a space having agency.
