Artist Statement:
“about so many things” randomly displays the activities of “He” and “She” without bias to gender. That is, the activities are drawn from the same pool of possibilities. Any line of text could be applied to either subject. In essence, the work explores the release of societal constraints regarding gender roles. The resulting narratives can be funny, sad, ironic, poignant, banal, or whatever condition the mindset of the viewer brings to the text. It is a minimalist soap opera “about so many things.”
