My practice has focused on an exploration of the neglected, the forgotten, the elusive, the spaces between things, even the things between things. I am equally drawn to the temporary, the fleeting, to the ephemera of everyday life.
The artist describes every letter of this alphabet to be a miniature abstract painting in which the letterforms get broken down and redistributed throughout the project, resulting in a pattern playfully engaging with the folds of the rhomboid shapes. With this, White simultaneously attempts to make these disappear as another pattern works to establish a visual hierarchy.
My hope is that the fleeting references to type that are found in these mini-collages evoke a sense that a story is waiting to be decoded, and that a story is waiting to be told.
