Question: What had become of her?
Answer: Unavailable, undecided, undetermined.

A woman’s face, rotating 360 degrees, dominates the installation. Light as shape, as text, as movement, illuminates and alters space. Corner junctions are distorted, additional planes angle and curve walls and surfaces take on new meaning. The text enters the work visually, directs the eye, and expands the visual barriers of the room.

Alternative Museum, New York, NY

Colors and spatial relationships change. Language is presented as handwriting, as translation, as grammatical construction. Surprises await on the other side.

1979
