‘A Love Letter’ by: the Society for Care And Maintenance
The work features a glass field of shattered tempered car windows measuring approximately 5’ x 8’ with 15,000 individually laid fragments.
Given the precarious nature of the installation, the work calls into question the maintenance of contested boundaries and our perceptions of power and self-control.
To present the work, SCAM has laid each fragment, one by one, directly onto an oak board floor, creating a reflective carpet that is continuous and intermittent, material and immaterial. Post-exhibition, SCAM has retrieved the glass to undergo a new phase of archival documentation (CH.3), a phase that seeks to pair each nuanced glass fragment with a static reflection before the glass is reimagined once again.
