decorative pattern made of geometric shapes rendered in watercolor
A cracked open roll of pennies which are edge-engraved with the phrase, “THE BODY WAS ALREADY SO FRAGILE”. The image is carefully composed: half of the roll is stacked upright and half is spilling out across a neutral-grey background, which is studio lit.
A dark room with purple walls is occupied by video projections and illuminated artworks on the floor and ceiling, creating an effect like overlapping windows on a computer screen. A purple glow comes from a tinted window on the left side. Freestanding panels are scattered throughout the room, each with colorful abstractions and other images mounted to them. Blue banners with abstracted plant designs hang from the ceiling and a red video projection, showing a person lying on their back, glows on the far wall.
