Study for a Palindrome
June 24 through September 12, 2021
Study for a Palindrome is the most recent iteration of the artist’s study of letterforms and mapping. The work combines disassembled written language and letterforms while also engaging with various forms of map making, including intuitive and non-geophysical coordinates. A visual rebus puzzle of sorts, the work remixes information with exploded word forms, while also utilizing the surrounding area that the Mullin gallery’s courtyard occupies, into an abstract sculpture.
