DON’T CALL IT POST-IT
2003 – ONGOING

DON’T CALL IT POST-IT IS A SERIES THAT INVESTIGATES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MESSAGE AND FORM. EACH WORK BEGINS WITH A PAINTED CARDBOARD, WHICH IS THEN CUT INTO A GRID OF SMALL SQUARE CARDS — TYPICALLY 5×5 CM — RESEMBLING POST-IT NOTES IN SIZE AND APPEARANCE.

THESE FRAGMENTS ARE APPLIED TO THE CANVAS USING GLUE OR DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE, ATTACHED ONLY ON ONE SIDE. THE GESTURE RECALLS THE CASUAL ACT OF LEAVING A NOTE, BUT HERE IT BECOMES DELIBERATE AND PERMANENT.

THERE IS NO WRITTEN TEXT. THE MESSAGE EMERGES THROUGH COLOR, RHYTHM, AND COMPOSITION. WHAT SEEMS PLAYFUL AT FIRST GLANCE REVEALS A DEEPER REFLECTION ON MEMORY, COMMUNICATION, AND THE WAY WE ASSIGN MEANING TO SHAPES AND SURFACES.

THIS SERIES TRANSFORMS THE FLEETING NATURE OF A NOTE INTO A LASTING VISUAL THOUGHT.
