Mount Mountain

Recycled paper in artist's frame
40 x 40 cm
2018

A blank piece of paper vertiginously framed by concentric layers of mountboard. This action focuses attention on the paper's material qualities – its colour, grain and embedded fibres – to open up a space of writerly silence analagous to Cage's 4'33" or Rauschenberg's White Paintings.
