Sign is a panoramic poem you can put on a wall. 15 × 30 inches, acrylic collage on canvas — a long, narrow format unusual in the estate. Sits squarely in Barbara Romain's text-based / mixed-media work, where language drawn from street, protest and song is built up in layers of collage and paint. The 1:2 stretch makes it read like a banner; the surface makes it read like a wall someone wrote on. You finish it left to right, then you start it again.
