For the work, 4 inch high extruded letters cast in bronze are installed on the floor in the window bay of a 7th floor gallery space in Downtown Chicago.¬ÝModest in scale, the bronze letters accord a triangulation with the viewer - a direct address in which the¬ÝI and the¬Ýyou¬Ýare dimensional sites transformed by whomever is reading them. The sun is also a participant in the work when the weather permits.¬ÝEach day from roughly 230 pm to 545 pm, the sun comes through the window and creates a trapezoid of light that moves along the floor and eventually envelopes the sculpture.¬ÝThe light will cause the letters to cast long diagonal shadows such that they mimic the buildings of the city-scape seen through the glass. The shadows locate the words beyond material - in direct conversation with time. Each day when the sun sets behind the office buildings, the sculpture returns to its original scale, becoming once more a sentence only legible from above.¬Ý](Nevertheless_files/shapeimage_1.png)
