| A layered soundscape plays while a warm feminine voice speaks. A soft buzz of electricity that slowly grows louder. The subtle friction of rubbing cloth. Intermittent creaks and the flicker of lights. A soft sigh and everything fades. |

| We hear a warm voice:
“I’m listening hard to silences these days, particularly when I’m waiting in a digital anteroom.
I pick up a rustle of static from a cord sliding against my clothes and filtered through my earphones. The stool I’m perched on creaks as I shift back and forth. I hear the electric whine of the pendant light fixtures above me.
Anticipating the next moment, my thoughts are the only things that are loud. I forget that the quiet isn’t for a reason. It’s not a moment of danger or reverence. I remind myself I don’t have to hold my breath.”
| Above is an exhibition lobby or anteroom. The text and/or audio as a resting place, and your chance to continue on with your viewing of the exhibition, or to exit back to the home page. On each of these pages, the artworks are framed by two photographs - the top of a ornate gold frame, and at the bottom of the page, the same image flipped upside down, creating the appearance of the lower part of an ornate gold frame casting overlapping shadows of purple and blue on a crisp white wall. |
