Etymologies of Foam and Dust
Emma McNally
Etymologies of Foam and Dust is the catalogue published to coincide with McNally’s first solo exhibition The Earth is Knot Flat at a UK public gallery, The Drawing Room. Designed by Joe Hales, it includes an essay by Aya Nassar, an interdisciplinary scholar who writes about memory, material and post-colonial cityness.
Written like visual prose-poetry, the relationships between the specific words and phrases flow, as McNally has commented, citing another contributor to the publication, Fred Moten, like something of “a babbling brook”. She added: “The words were put together in ways that would trigger thinking in non-linear, entangled ways.”
