Discription:
'Infinite Sleep' consists of an eleven foot pillar mimicking Brâncuși's Endless Column created from 32 textured vinyl pillows. Those incarcerated at Allen-Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima, Ohio manufactured these pillows for use by other prisoners in the state of Ohio. This work is a continuation of my engagement with charged materials generally and the prison industrial complex specifically, and exemplifies my use of physical presence to engage the viewer both conceptually and phenomenologically.
