In Search of Meaning
2022 - cardboard, paper, paint - 2.8mx5mx4.5m
My sculpture, In Search of Meaning, was a semi-finalist for the Lucca, Biennale 2022. The theme, “a white page”, would have been formed from cardboard and finished with paper, curled about itself, forming a cave-like experience through which the viewer could go. On this furled white page would be words from 62 different languages that represent different societal groups’ search for their origins and their future, from earliest cuneiform and hieroglyphs to modern languages. The words, incised in the page, would allow sunlight to penetrate through the silhouetted letters to cast their light-formed words on the inside wall of the cave-like, furled white page.
