About The Work
Emily Roysdon has created a new symbol for other kinds of time: a stylized motif of an upside down triangle, a row of waves lining its widest width. Broken down, built up, and reiterated throughout her practice, it forms an abstract lexicon for ways to think through–elliptically–relationships between time and queer activism, space and the body, writing and performance. Both a surface and a shape, Roysdon’s wave has manifest as clocks, photograms, and sculpture. This sterling silver object featuring the wave motif is also stamped with the words “unseen in time,” a phrase taken from the artist’s original text UNCOUNTED . Proposed as both poetics and practice, the writing asks questions about the unseen in time–alive time, authority, trespass–and develops Roysdon’s performative philosophy “to discompose.”
