A work about small movements of trust in the strange intimacy of a digital conversation between strangers.
Twelve autonomous sentences are placed chronologically in six pairs. All twelve picked from a long-term email conversation between the artist and the curator about a solo exhibition. They only really met while setting up the exhibition including the work ‘In conversation with Clare’.
