In For I am a Sign, Ryan collaborates with his non-verbal son, Baxter, to explore the intersection between verbal and non-verbal language. Together, they play a game inspired by the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). Baxter selects the pictures, which Ryan then paints before Baxter adds his own finishing touches with oil sticks. Everyone is invited to take part!
