In the latest installment of Unpack / Reveal / Unleash, Margaret Kross investigates the scorched architectures and material poetics of Sophie Friedman-Pappas. Among vitrified remnants and molten residues, her work transforms industrial and base materials not into precious metal, but into an intervention in the governing logic that casts refuse into dollars.
