From Gray Contemporary:
“Exhibition Statement
Legibility is the degree of ease that signs and symbols convey direct meaning based on their appearance. The capacity
for objects to communicate hinges on their visibility, though a visible object is not necessarily a legible object. There
are things that barely register despite being visible, articulating a space between something and nothing. Certain
objects disclose this space. Plastic bags against the curb verge on disappearance in their ubiquity. In my practice, I give
extended attention to materials and situations that are veiled in their commonness and acute specificity. The works in
this exhibition are prompts for looking without the pretense of seeing.
