Kay Rosen works are text based. She finds words, letters for minimal use. In her paintings, drawings, wall works, collages and editions she has used various visual/typographical strategies revealing the unexpected, partly by challenging the way people see and understand words and letters they read. Here, she proposed herself possible references to notions as Open, Orb, Orifice, Donut, Globe, Hole, Whole, Halo and Zero. The work ‘O’ is applied to chipboard with a white background as base. It was shown in ‘Een goed in de weg staande tafel’ at Galerie van Gelder in 1999, curated by Jack Jaeger.
