STEPHANIE BROOKS: TEMPORARILY CLOSE
Passwords, cylinders, enamel coated poplar, 2022, ($25/each)
With this series, we see a physical form of the ‘dots’ that guard our online passwords. Through the physical representation of the familiar form, the viewer encounters a compulsory act of self-insertion imagining their passwords. The works critique the absurdity and necessity of passwords to protect what we deem private from the public.
