Artist statement
Lacuna n. pl. la·cu·nae (-n) or la·cu·nas
Lacuna is a vacancy. Time, decay and weathering are responsible for lacunae; a section of a manuscript or text that has disappeared. From the Latin lacuna (“ditch, gap”), it can result in words, sentences or whole pages missing or illegible on the page. In music, Lacuna is a silence; an absence of notes. In linguistics, it is a lexical gap that is lost, meaningless, non-existent when translated into another language. Lacuna is a tool used to unlock cultural differences in a missing part within an ancient text. When one experiences lacuna amnesia, there is a gap in our record of memory. It is a blank space, missing intrinsic detail.
