Silent Messenger is my contribution to the 2021 Cranbrook Graduate Degree Exhibition. My message "it could be worse" was pulled from academy communication over the course of the pandemic and was often the response to criticism. The phrase "safe space" comes from a letter sent to the student body in response to inequality within the institution; meant as a response to the BLM movement, social unrest, and calls for equality in the summer of 2020.
Silent Messenger will also display messages from the community. Viewers have the opportunity to fill out graphic layout cards throughout the exhibition. Select designs will be added to the sign over the course of the show.
