Swimming Pool Project Space presents Shannon Goff’s “Horse Drawn”, a carriage without a horse, constructed with cardboard.

The exhibition is the convergence of several of Goff's ideas and interests. The title, "Horse Drawn" refers to the production of carriages in the years predating the automobile. At the same time "drawn" can refer to drawing, which is central to Shannon’s work whether it is flat or sculptural.

For several years Shannon has worked with cardboard as a building material. Ubiquitous as it seems now, it turns out cardboard has been around only since the time of these carriages. Cardboard changed the way goods were packaged while the carriages changed the way people traveled. Industries grew up around shipping and transporting.

Cardboard is now a highly standardized material, embodying a bland predictability. Goff turns this contemporary notion of cardboard inside out - the transported has become the transporter. Rather than concealing contents, the material has been drawn out.
