About the work
Actor #2 is part of an ongoing series of similarly titled works on paper. It depicts an organic form – possibly a blade of grass – twisting in response to internal motivations. The title references the writing of N. Katherine Hayle in her book Unthought (2017), in which the author uses the term ‘actor’ to designate animals, plant life and crucially many technical devices, as ‘cognizers’.
