a proposition unfolding
1. affix mesh screen to paper coveralls to form the contours of a mesh skin suit.
2. arrange 8-foot-high walls of mesh screen, in various lengths, along horizontal, vertical and diagonal vectors around the gallery space.
3. participants who visit the gallery space will receive a mesh skin suit to wear for the duration of their stay.
4. participants move freely through the gallery space, forming ghostly topologies of moiré patterns.
