The Other Side
Embroidery of “Death.” from the reverse side of 12 silk hanging scrolls
The Other Side
I embroidered “Death.” on 12 pieces of silk, and displayed the front side of the embroidery against the wall, so viewers can only see the reversed word and the fraying threads. As living beings we cannot fathom what is on the other side.
As a poet and artist, I am interested in defining and visualizing three-dimensional space with language. This simple gesture of inverting the line “Death.” divides the temporal space we live in from the unfathomable.
