One After Another Installation Detail
2025

Entitled after the modernist principle coined by Donald Judd, “one after another”, this installation explores the point at which units become errors and errors become units. Mass-produced, found, and naturally occurring objects attempt liberation from standardization within their assemblies while the assemblies seek standardization through their gridded formation. Objects evolve and mediate their natures to become an assembly. Flexible objects become rigid, and whole objects become broken. A system is drawn and built from disparate parts to create structure.These assemblies are arranged to echo one another’s forms, to draw similarities. Lines, squares, and cubes are scaled, repeated, and extended. As these disparate assemblies attempt to become units within a physical system, space is demarcated creating connection in-between, bridging the gap between the ‘assembly’ and the ‘unit’. As the system draws its territory, space is both formed and framed. The assemblies act as windows or visual containers looking out to the next unit over. Color becomes a mode of repetition and unification, categorizing form and formation.
