These transparent panels of acrylic, glass, and aluminum, based on Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, seek to free the words from their context through non-objectivity.
Each panel is composed of blocks of color, one tile per letter, the color determined by a specific trait about the words that compose the speech. In this way, the panels obliquely display the Gettysburg Address through a jumble of colors, seemingly nonsensical, but all held together as a single, solid mass by the acrylic resin behind and around the tiles.
These works, when hung in a window, acted as small stained-glass panels. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to photograph the pieces during the day while they were being exhibited.
