the small space of a pause (2021)
02:36min
Drawing its title from a poem by Susan Howe, this silent work reflects an ongoing interest in the potential for fragmented moments to reveal aspects of the psychological and architectural frameworks that surround us.
The small space
Of a pause
A haze
Blink into the aching lost
Only words remain
If the print is available
The green of a city
A tumble of omens …- Susan Howe
