Stapled pamphlet binding. Silkscreen printing. An exploration of the columns on the 8/F terrace of the Whitney Museum.
"First time in Whitney Museum, I was taken away by these beauties on the 8/F terrace. They were colossal cement-gray columns, which I presumed to be some kind of art. However, there wasn’t any white little paper nearby.
"It took me on 'what is it' and 'why is it here' journey. Later I discovered that they are not 'art', well, just chimneys for the building HVAC system. But their beauty touched me deeply." -- artist statement Edition 22 of 47.
