Compression: Shauna Hargrove
“Compression is what this work is about. It’s a stake in the ground, a spare knot of matter holding everything down, keeping things from scattering. It’s the essential, a root, a single backward glance that tells the story of a whole life. Compression lets those who experience a work draw their own conclusions, add what they know to make meaning out of some stranger’s words. Compression is lacking, and is surely thankful that someone cares to cultivate it.” — Shauna Hargrove
