The Statement as Object

These works take the form of statements - direct, declarative, and absolute. Yet their certainty is unstable. Presented as text, they appear to communicate, but in their repetition, isolation, and framing, they shift from language into object.

Meaning is not delivered; it is questioned. Authority is asserted, then undermined. The statement becomes material - something to be looked at rather than simply read.

These works interrogate the conditions under which art is perceive, valued, and outlasted by the artists who make it.
