Crawl Space is pleased to present Landscapes for Phantom Limbs: RG
Region CS2, new work by guest artist Wyndel Hunt that considers the
consequences of answering the following question:
Do you believe that you possess an inner psychological space, a
private domain where your thoughts are represented in and by an
environment fashioned to your liking?

Landscapes includes drawings made with black Sharpie Permanent
Markers, 3M Scotch Tape, and Sakura Pigma Micron fine point black pens
of various sizes. Appending the drawings are Notes from an Organized
Catastrophe and the small collection Drawings of Excluded Objects and
Terrains. According to Hunt these materials are displayed with the
intent of establishing a specious relationship between "belief in
continuous psychological identity over time" and "the act of picturing
this identity as a geographic territory".

One way Hunt attaches the images to a particular meaning is by
developing an interpretation of RG Region CS2 as part of the work.
The interpretation can be seen in the video Auto-Interrogation and
Explanation without Verification, where Hunt confesses to disavowing
his belief that he inhabited the space of which the drawings refer
after remembering that he "had no intention when making these
drawings, so they cannot possibly be about anything other than the
accidental organization of their physical and chemical properties."

Wyndel Hunt studied painting at Louisiana State University and
graduated with a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Illinois at
Chicago. His work has included sculpture as well as sound design for
theater and installation. He lives in Seattle.
