Infrastructure 20100221

Rough for the communication / language blanket. Central to the work is the human ear and the telephone keypad with the alphabet on the keys. Secondary are the stitched sound waves as sound is not the only way to communicate thought. Perhaps a bit too David Salle pastiche, ha ha ha. However, mingling stitching with silk-screening, patchwork and painting may be a great approach to layering imagery in this and other blankets.
As well, pocket this piece of trivia: David Salle is almost exactly ten years my senior.
