Curt Belshe

(2007) Belshe & Prown. This work is comprised of one hundred weatherproof rectangular signs that will be suspended from several trees on a downtown street using carabiners. Using the conventions of street signage, both commercial and public, these signs will have a water related image. On the reverse side, the same image will be overlaid with a word or short phrase. These words and images reveal, in their complexity and contradiction, a web of meaning that informs our relationship with the element of water. Topics of leisure, tourism, environment, health and more are part of this web.
