/ seɪl / (2017)

​

mannequins, steel plinths, tricycles, inkjet print on vinyl, 250 yard sale signs, sound

/ seɪl / is the phonetic spelling of the homophones "sail" and "sale," two words thematically bound to the structure that housed this installation - a shipping container. The yard sale signs were collected over the course of three years on walks throughout the city. The installation's diffuse components weave together the life of a commercial object, from its assembly, to transportation, to sale, to the secondary market - in this case, the yard sale - which exists in a strange place between economic deregulation and commodity fetishism.
