Soil Thornton

Is An Es Feminine or Masc, Accidental Pharmacy Non Accidental Canals

2016

A layered and linguistically charged work, this piece by Soil Thornton probes the gendered structures embedded within language while simultaneously navigating the tension between intention and accident in systems of care and geography. The work moves between the clinical and the cartographic, drawing unexpected connections between pharmaceutical spaces and the engineered flow of canals as sites of both control and chance. Thornton's use of his own name as the medium collapses the boundary between creator and material, suggesting that the self is both the tool and the subject of inquiry.
