Linda Hesh is a DC area artist whose work considers
how people interact with each other,
whether it's in the intimate relationship between two human beings,
or in the ways we
marginalize other people through social constructs. |
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.
