#FFFFFF

Painted scaffolds, dimensions variable, 2020
Ditch Projects Eugene, OR, USA

Constructed in 2020 #FFFFFF, is the fourth iteration of the ‘Scaffold Series’. Here the scaffolds are painted in a glossy white and arranged with a deliberate attention to pure form, in response to the interior of Ditch Projects and the seeming quietness of the space.

Stage lighting creates dramatic shadows leading to a dance with positive and negative spaces and shapes. The physical weight of this tall white structure is visually altered as it blends into the white space, while the ethereal shadows become more visible and present. Modified field recordings, projected intermittently in the space, are interrupted by stretches of silence. Generated from the construction and painting of the scaffolds, they further dodge our sense of space and place, absence and presence.

#FFFFFF is the code for white in the hexadecimal color system used in HTML and other computing applications to represent colors.
