Can We Acknowledge? by Janet Goldner (outdoor), 4′ × 25′ × 4′, steel, 2002.

Can We Acknowledge? is a continuation of my series of large steel books. The interplay of positive and negative space, of image and text is important to this work. This steel accordion-book/fence has five 4-foot × 4-foot steel pages which ask, “Can we acknowledge the pain we have caused in the world, even as we struggle with our own?”

stylized text that reads "Can we acknowledge the pain we have caused in the world, even as we struggle with our own?"
