I I I I wa wa wa WANT is a site-specific installation consisting of the words, "I want" in neon, and mounted on 2 opposite-facing mirrors.The self-reflecting mirrors will create the illusion of repeating the words to infinity as well as implicating the viewers reflected in the mirrors.
The Convenience Gallery storefront was the ideal location for this work. It is the intersection of the space of commerce and the private space of individual longing. The work speaks to our desires. Neon signs are familiar signifiers of commerce in an urban setting and the media advertising surrounding us promotes the economy of desire. Who doesn't want something? Who hasn't looked longingly at shop window?
