In Noise III and Noise IV, two life-size forms are wrapped in materials that both define and contain. In one, Price has written thousands of spelling words by hand over several years, creating a grey shroud over the head and torso.
The piece underscores Price’s interest in the limitations of words and language as tools to understand the world and ourselves. The second figure, cast from the same mold, positioned in ‘conversation’ with the first is almost caged in a network of unpainted wood, purchased from the local hardware store and crudely screwed together. It is a figure boarded up like a house before a hurricane comes through town.
