"Annabel Daou speaks of trying to accommodate genre to content. The Lebanese-born New York artist works in a shifting combination of abstraction,
conceptualism, and linguistic and numerical jottings, as well as sound. Although the words may be decipherable, they are essentially designed as
elements in a land- or thought-scape; the ideas are like abstract forms for viewers to assemble on their own—or not.
Her materials—paper, torn and not; tape, fingerprinted or fresh; pencil, smudged or clean; translucent gesso—are simple, accessible, and fragile,
and thereby adaptable to different places, situations, and ideas. The work can be seen as literary or political or personal."
