The Space Between
2023-2024
Artist Statement Time curls in on itself and around itself with a sense of urgency that is invisible. Opportunity is given in its absence and in its space. Humans when faced with dark days can reach for interconnected structures that give them comfort and confidence. There are subtle nuances and intricacies that exist in the gaps between people, emotions and ideas. Everything is fundamentally interdependent; plants, earth, wildlife and people. A tendril on a pea plant reaches for support as it grows, trying to connect for strength and support. If it does not find support, it curls into itself, and disconnects, falling to the ground. It cannot use itself as a support structure which is often the same for humans. We need others. The need of being supported, held, comforted and cared for is ever present in the world in which we live. If time could stretch like a tendril on a vine we could suspend that last moment, but we never know when that last moment will happen. Sometimes the gap between what society could be and what can happen is as wide as the gap between a young tendril and a support structure. What is possible can exceed individual grasp, like climate change, homelessness, poverty or the economy. We can experience dark days by reaching too far on our own, and suffer a graceless fall like a tendril curled around itself on the ground, alone and unsupported. We continue to reach out to stretch our potential and interconnect to solve individual needs as well as global issues with endurance similar to a tendril. |
