20:22

2000 fingers cast in plaster, invoking the practice of taking a likeness via the death mask. The casts carry a detailed translation of surface of individual finger prints, and capture a moment of transition.  The fingers, which are almost all mine, are reproduced as multiple anthropomorphic forms, gesturing upward and facing forward in crowded and silent isolation. They represent touch and feel and the sensitive membrane between an individual and everything else. I also understand the language of the digit as numerical time and date. 20:22 was made over the final year of my father's life when things were too slippery and overwhelming to articulate in words.
