In Feeling Language, M Slater’s varied practice, ranging from photography to papermaking, is on full display. Fixing risograph text prints to their own handmade board, Slater delicately balances the labor-intensive production of each piece with a graceful simplicity of execution, deftly utilizing an intimacy otherwise foreign to our contemporary moment, while perhaps staking out the terms of connection’s contemporary manifestation. With this series, the viewer is invited to engage their sense of interpersonal relation, while interrogating what connection means and how it might look.
