Galen Gibson-Cornell’s Couplet is a layered, sculptural composition that transforms the visual remnants of New York City into a dynamic interplay of texture, material, and movement. Woven from found street posters and metallic fabric, the piece is meticulously constructed with thread, zippers, and magnets, allowing for shifts in form and structure. This interplay of rigid and flexible elements echoes the tension between permanence and impermanence in urban life. Coupletcaptures the essence of the city’s ever-changing landscape, where advertisements, messages, and materials are constantly reassembled into new narratives.
