Shadow Farming
Dublin Core
Title
Shadow Farming
Description
The flags are monotype prints made using an etching press, and each is uniquely designed to re-contextualize patterns from the urban landscape. Finding inspiration in ‘extremities that touch’ like hands, feet, and shoes, Nick Carter and KYLE play with the physical and ephemeral use of shadow as a metaphor for touch and presence. KYLE explained that the project calls to how “gentle gestures can happen even without the presence of a full body.” Installed in unexpected locations and designed to interact with changing sunlight, “SHADOW FARMING” will ebb and flow in and out of shadow across the entire PVDFest footprint.
