Flags is a new body of work by contemporary artist Doug Aitken. It is a series of handmade wall hangings with layers created out of fabric, cut from the artist's clothes and collaged into words, sentences and abstractions.

The works explore language and creates a visual topography of ideas of the future. The phrases contemplate themes of our relationship to the landscape around us, and the tactility of the fabric underscores the coexistence between the natural and man-made worlds.
