Paper Dagger contains work in photography, sculpture, and installation that navigates the limits of perception, the complexities of representing the contemporary body, and the additive nature of knowledge gained through experience. The opening reception is Friday, January 17th from 6-9 pm with additional open hours Saturday the 18th and Saturday the 25th from 1-4 pm.
“I began the day connected by several moving points on a grid, in a constellation of live objects, in a house of memory. My body was a container for the conversations occurring on the floors above and below me, the messages being left on my phone, and the letter I held in my hand. I was a shape but one where everything inside me was in motion and I was trying to hold it mathematically, trying to be a pattern in the world. I woke lying beside something that was geometric but also a poem … The points of the grid had words attached to them, words arranges in a row of six to ten groups, and had spaces where I could stop and see that I and everything inside this grid were moving, as was the grid itself.”
