My art plays with the connection between psychological intensity and childish play. I was creating an installation with a doll and a tent of blankets, where a mise-en-scène of a passed time would be created…a past time that spoke to isolation, sexual fear and a discomfort in one's own skin…
But why would I want to give you that visual experience? I don’t! I recently found myself in the emergency room psych ward of the hospital. This project that I was intending to make was pushing me so far into the past that I was finding it impossible to be in the present. How did I snap out of the headspace that was about to land me committed in the hospital (again!), revisiting a time from my not so distant past? I did push-ups! So, when the water rolls off a duck's back does someone get hung out to dry? |
