Slippage occurs; memories of memory. Rules are fragmented and declarations declined. Decode. Decipher. Glyphs.

The images brood in an obtuse melancholy and echo American conceptual practice. To delineate a strict path of meaning would disable the work and encroach on the profane. Conceive. Deceive.

There is instead courage to assemble and proliferate ambiguous images, origins masked and muddied. What reality do we occupy? Skjæveland’s images shimmer in their instability. As they take form and recede, the viewer is invited into a world without absolutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e— Brad Feuerhelm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eSigned copy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nearest Truth Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57358085816660,"sku":"A8B-34663","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/33Suspensions_1.jpg?v=1790814067","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/33-suspensions","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
