If we were both home at the right time and the sky looked nice, then mum and I would go for a drive to see the sunset (2019) features an equation in formal black lettering constructed from painted medium-density fibreboard. The equation itself is indecipherable without the aid of the title. Here, the title acts as a translation of the equation in which each letter is representative of a section of the statement, and each symbol is representative of a conjunction. In this case, 'P' represents "We were both home at the right time", 'Q' represents "the sky looked nice", and 'R' represents "mum and I would go for a drive to see the sunset". The work turns intimate and intangible concepts like conversation and memory into an impersonal and detached form - mathematics.
