Untitled (drafts), 2022

Unboxing, cropping, gathering, draping. In conversation the curtain grows. In Marwan, it jams. Pinches. Overflows. 400 x 1000 cm into 305 x 302 / 403 cm. The curtain may be creased. Silver flakes between folds—slips. Cold and thin, fibres screech, fingers tease speech. The curtain waits. To drape. To gather. To fold. The word we use is ‘spill’.
Black chiffon splits space, triangles, hands that crop. Glass plucked from a pile of black and white photographs. Or contact sheets, rubbed against glass windows, crossed through window glass, we hope to splinter.
All works between 2017-2022 are now temporarily re-titled Untitled (drafts), 2022 specifically for Marwan.
