7. You Say 2007
This installation is a boundary-less work. It can take over a space like a virus of speech bubbles. Empty of words, these speech bubbles are full of the content communicated by their material presence. Made of sticks, some reference nature…made of slumped glass, some seem fragile and empty…made of rubber, some are opaque and tough, etc. It is a site-responsive installation with a non-specific number of parts.
