shhhhhh...
large site specific installation (now on permanent display) for HCA CRC Library 'Quiet Study Room' - as part of my solo exhibiton - December 2019
shhhhhh... - repurposed cardboard - 'made to measure' - written interjection representing sound - a reaction to noise in a situation where talking is a transgression -
used universally across many different languages to urge silence - 's' and 'sh' sounds can be heard over most other spoken sounds, often making more sound than the original infraction -
conversely ... can also used with calming effect to pacify and soothe.
