From the Chain Series
Turning Philadelphia's 9th district police barriers into a linked system, a chain, felt like a necessitous act of repossession. While making in a meditative mode of repetition I’m thinking of access, rights, race, limits, and loss: brokenness + boundaries, mending/remembering, decay, discipline, denial, delusions, and distress. When a system is broken, when it's parts don't function as a whole, where does mending begin/how does it happen, can it?
These boards are bright but ugly, aging, rotting, decayed, handmade, hand painted yellow ubiquitous barriers that are broken misplaced forgotten. They are a fractured, felt, unseen, unusual, natural material whose life is spent defining, denying, directing. This linked system on the floor reshapes the limits into something limp, something loose, something lighter.
