Embrace.
This coupling is formally duplicated in the form of two stacks of
silver and blue images on white and teal backgrounds. Each unique
print suggests a particular moment of creation. The action repeats
over multiple prints, just as the artist and her husband intimately
captured here, will be connected and hugging each other in many
more instances throughout their lives. The hug has functioned as
a main motif in Gordon’s performance work, with this specific
image resulting from Close
Encounters, in which she redeemed hug tickets for three
hours and hugged over 200 people.
