Two white gallery walls are filled by a grid of 12 large photographic prints of mouths. These closely cropped images are blown up large so the individual dots in the halftone pictures show. Each mouth is frozen mid-expression; mid way through a word, just about to speak or pursed shut in a word swallowing frown. There is a freestanding wall on the right side with two mouth photos and some unreadable black text printed in large vinyl lettering. — SORRY, installation view, ink-jet prints and “We Are Sorry” wall, Yukon Arts Centre, Whitehorse, 2009.
