If [then stares stairs stares] #1

SPECIFICATIONS

If [then stares stairs stares] #1 is, at present, made of watercolour and lead pencil on paper and measures 40 cm high and 30 cm wide.

If, however, the watercolour pattern were to be made into a hand-knotted rug and placed, for instance, in a living room, it would become a sculptural situation.

As a rug, it would measure 4m x 3m.

As a sculptural situation, the first stares of the title belong to living participants who sit in chairs around the rug in a living room. These stares lead to the rug’s edge, even if they dart over the rug when speaking with others. The title’s second stairs then lead through the rug’s terrain to, yes, more stares (or chairs in which to sit and converse with another opposite).
