Drawing a Blank
January 11 – 29, 2000

Lisa Fedorak’s small text panels appear in groups in the gallery space, like outcroppings or outbursts. The words, including “Jam ”, “Freeze ”, “Barrier ”, “Void ”, are choppy and visceral, and connect to the other frames in a contextual way that depends on their position and their place in time and space.
