Body Language, 2004
At times communication is elusive, difficult, and time-consuming. Other times language flows and becomes unraveled and effortless.
Body Language identifies the movements and patterns of language as it relates to ourselves and others. White cotton and linen serve as the medium for this discourse. Cotton is at once neutral and steeped with history and references. White sheets can allude to both the clinical and the sexual while linen may symbolize nourishment.
Body Language expresses a progression of tightly wound stagnated ideas that only grow onto and on top of themselves. These thoughts then loosen expand and unwind to give form to that which is inarticulate.
