The Void

An installation intended to require thought from the audience when interacted with. The work ignores spacing between words and zigzags the letters, demanding viewers to slow down and puzzle through the phrase. This is intended to also prompt thought as to the meaning, what “things” and what “void.”

There were also considerations taken in the placement as an outdoor installation. The paint allowed the end of the sentence to standout more, yet when the snow fell the reverse effect happened, helping to encourage more thought behind the meaning of the piece to viewers who saw it in both conditions. This was made for the class, Sculpture I.
