Poems by Hidden Gravel

Words, gravel, wind, rain, 2021

In this work, Artist composed a poem from the French words she repeatedly underlined during her first year of language study in Paris. Some words became familiar, others were continually forgotten. Together, they form a constellation of partial recollection.

In this temporary outdoor installation, each word in the poem was covered by a stone. Over the course of a week, wind, rain, dust, and time shifted the stones. Some words were uncovered, others buried deeper.
Each word, veiled and unveiled by nature, echoes the uncertainty of memory. We cannot fully know what has occurred, or what is yet to come—only that something passed between us and what we saw.
