“The metal supports the glass that supports the paper. The paper behind the glass calls attention to the metal that it advertises, or fails to advertise: the intended relationship – the purposeful but entirely un-aesthetic placement of materials in relationship to one another – has come undone, has slowly dissolved, along with the ink that is no longer there. In doing so, it has become something else. A malfunction has become a monochrome”
