As an object a flag is a piece of fabric that comes to life with the wind, constantly changing and evolving with every breath of air. The layers of cloth stitched together are embedded with a myriad of symbols and associations that are in a state of flux, allowing for interpretation and identity through both an individual and collective experience. Flags are volatile and ambiguous in their movements and associations, creating a tension through both a connection and a division.
(flag) encounters with place uses the language associated with the flag to explore the relationship between people and place through a series of objects, prints and artist books.
