Statement


I build rooms 

Rooms with objects in 

Rooms with memories, sounds, smells, dust, soil, dirt

A broken glass, who broke it? 

A disheveled bed, who festered here? 

A bowl of soil, a Burnt cloak, a plucked feather. 

Who lived here? 

I build characters, people that exist within me, they emerge through the objects, the rooms, the texture of the walls, the floor. They are, the plate that is cracked, they creak around using the walking stick that lies by the hat. The object, the space and the environment build the characters. The characters are feelings; of sorrow, that yearning for home, of loneliness and desire. The characters are parts of me.
