Threshold Figure, Study No. 09 // 2024
Overview
One small figure, one immense wall. Scale does the talking here — the human presence is a punctuation mark at the foot of an unbroken sentence of stone.
The closing plate of the volume and its only figure study. Waited three hours for the wall to empty; the sitter crossed it in eleven seconds.
