(A)LINE

2008
Discarded/Unwanted Books, Thread, Found Wooden Chair

(A)Line is a sculpture/installation that serves as a visual metaphor for collective consciousness, the loss and retrieval of language, and the relationship of cultural memory to the individual’s act of making. The thousands of rolled and sewn pages become reminiscent of an old tree that has been cut to reveal its many rings, with its own organic topography and ecological ontology.
