The Red House Cone is going to exhibiting this in June and has found a story-teller called John Edgar who will use it as a springboard for stories of misunderstanding and ambiguity. I've reduced my 'blurb' on it to this:
This piece shows an outsize punctuation mark made of layers of optical lenses. Removed of context, it could be a comma, an apostrophe or a quotation mark. This ambiguity is reflective of the way in which language, meaning and vision alter according to perspective.
The title is a metaphor: technically it denotes a computer file format used to exchange data between disparate applications, but viewers are invited to create their own meanings according to values of their own.
This is part of an ongoing exploration of where text and glass interact.
