“Textural,” a site-specific installation, challenges viewers traversing an urban landscape to contemplate the life of the mind. Senn uses pages from discarded library books to create textures; the abstract forms are metaphors for the ways in which we gather and experience knowledge — the organic, non-linear process in which thoughts have a genesis and then are adopted, refuted, or discarded. Freeing viewers from literal reading, the reconfigured texts enable contemplation of the larger influences of a textural landscape.
