peel #26

In this work, I reconsider the relationship between surface and underside through the acts of covering and peeling. The surface we perceive is not necessarily fixed to the outside of things; it changes with viewpoint, circumstance, and intervention. When we recognize one side as the surface, the opposite side is hidden as the underside. Yet the act of peeling away the surface reverses this relationship, and what had been unseen emerges as a new surface.

Through the repetition of concealing something and causing something else to appear from it, this series considers the uncertainty of seeing and recognizing, and the conditions under which a surface comes into being.
