Shipton's Exit Sign series features signage along rural roads and continues her exploration of movement, time, and timing. “It’s about exits and entrances and how the timing of each exit allows you to enter somewhere or someplace,” says Shipton. You suddenly find yourself at a destination you intended or somewhere unexpected and new. Ultimately, it’s about movement, the journey, and the anticipation of the moment of arrival.
