星期一至星期二

"Knowing that time does not just exist in the momentary 和 the fine-tuned, 星期一至星期二 works to encompass all that time is 和 all that moves alongside it. 这个集合, inspired by two poems written in the winter of 2021, titled “wednesday night” 和 “august 2nd,” narratively encompasses the passage of time 和 the thematic elements that naturally go alongside that. These poems capture all that is there as we age, 因为我们停滞不前, when things move slowly, 和 when things move quickly.

Twelve self-made visual works are featured in this collection. Eleven occur in tangent with the poems 和 one serves as the title page. 进一步, all but one of these visuals are collages I constructed through clippings of magazines, 地图, 宣传册, 和 other printed media. These visuals conceptualize the written work, 和, in a way, st和 as poems themselves.

With such a wide sweep, these poems maintain a level of vagueness, never quite solidifying what/who the subject is, where the poem is taking place, 和 more importantly when. Like time, there is no stopping, no pausing the circle, no predicting. There are no guidelines to answer what Monday? 这周二? 当? And so, chronology teeters on irrelevant. While the timeline might seem followable 和 known upon introspection, the collection should be able to be read in any order. 星期一至星期二 could just as well be Tuesday to Monday."
