These doorknob hangers are the first set that Linda Hesh created. They can be found occasionally on the street, at the Hirshhorn Museum Store or purchased through this site. |
Desolation Doorknob
Hangers
Linda Hesh has printed 8 statements of longing on doorknob hangers. She puts the hangers
on doors in residential
and commercial neighborhoods, photographs the installation, and then leaves them in place to be found.
|
The statements could be about
problems in a love affair, feeling dissatisfied at work, longing
for your neighborhood as it was, or even frustration with the government.
This artwork is about any type of relationship that results in a
broken trust. |

WE WANT YOUR ART
If you found one of these doorknob hangers in your
neighborhood, or would like to buy your own set of 8 (for $25), you can
become part of this group of work. Create you own art by photographing
your installation of the hangers and upload your pictures to the contributors online
gallery. |
|
Hesh also puts the 8 statements on mugs. These
are done in 2 styles- as large type that shouts as it wraps around
the mug and in small, quiet blue type. These are also for sale, to stack for your own installations, or to get a
singular message to someone.
