A BIG WALL PROJECT
Los Angeles artist Pae White is renowned for a body of work that encompasses colosssal mobiles, innovative book design, shimmering floor-pieces, and public sculptures that leap the gap between form and function. It also includes works like Going Up?, White's mural for the Big wall. The words 'Black Cherry Juice' describe a homemade remedy for depression. Rendered seven metres high and in interpertrating layers of colour, the words become expansive and even hallucinatory — language with a lift.
