Catalogue Note
“The void is not silent. I have always thought of it more and more as a transitional space, an in-between space. It’s very much to do with time. It’s a space of becoming… ‘something’ that dwells in the presence of the work… that allows it or forces it not to be what it states it is in the first instance.”
