Artist Statement:
Held by Silent Weight works the psychic, emotional, and material spaces established by the silent tension between routine and transformation. Anchored in the rhythms of domesticity, the series exists at the space where comfort and quiet entwine with a muted underlying discontent. Every image is a psychic movement. Objects, bodies, and spaces come together as metaphors for memory, desire, and critical emotional turning points.
Free, wide expanses in the work are inner landscapes; both declaring the necessity of freedom and the desire to return home. Such spaces are metaphors for a greater search: a balance between the need to belong and the weight of inertia.
Not a literal account of domesticity, Held by Silent Weight is an affect cartography. It maps the unstable tension between proximity and disquiet, inscribing a map of the multi-layered condition of being home; both place and state.
