on accidental installation #7

what a combination this piece is. the grey and red, hard and soft textures play together beautifully. Its like Jasper Johns having a fight with Robert Smithson, and Mimi Dennett steps in to break it up.
the scarf bleeds from the bluestone in ornamental design, folding in and around itself without compromising the architecture of the rock. it resembles a letter or character that doesn't exist. the weathered nature of the piece tells a story of loss and time. was it a treasured item? is it more treasured now because its lost?
our sentimentality over items like the scarf adds emotional weight to the piece. there is a story - one that has continued via me taking the photograph..
