The work is accessible by appointment for two individuals at a time. You may Register beginning on August 18th. The work will be open to the public for the Artist Reception, for a full experience we recommend guests register.

You are not here. It is just I. 

And thus, all of the problems that we can be, do not exist. 

My singularity renders me harmless. 

I am no longer a screen used for projection. At most, I am an abstract idea. 

Something heard of but only in rumor. 

I used to think that I was the sorest of thumbs. 

After further investigation, I found that I evaporated when the plane landed. 

The hostess takes 20 minutes. 

“I didn’t even see you there. How are you?” 

Maybe you should come visit.
