Snippets

"The idea of someone driving by a billboard and seeing the message is really powerful. This multifaceted level of possibility with the work because it’s out in the world as opposed to in a formal gallery space…"

These textual declarations are derived from snippets of things I’ve heard or had said to me, provided out of context for others to read. By sharing these messages, I am able to impart ambiguous moments for others to consider and appreciate. Inevitably some are interpreted as advertising; poetry; or an insider joke, but I am interested in that ambiguity as well.
Around the world, these Snippets are displayed in public spaces and private homes. Interested collaborators are invited to send photographs of the Snippets, for addition to the archive.
