Fear of Becoming the Fool
steel wire, Disperse red 9
126” x 14’

Artist: Danielle Degon Rhodes

Straw Gallery | Philadelphia, PA.
March 2020 - April 2021.
An installation of horizontally strung segments of barbed wire that connect the opposing gallery walls, beginning at the floor and continuing up to a height of fifteen feet. Each segment of barbed wire has been hand-twisted and coated in Disperse red 9, a transferrable red dye that is used in smoke grenades and theft-protection dye packs. Segments of barbed wire span across the gallery every eight inches, creating an impenetrable border that marks anything with which it comes into contact.
