Penumbra

Darkness and Light; an ongoing collaboration with McKay House

OVERANDOVER

Exploring the nuances of deep relationship, the richness of shared history and the depth of knowing that only comes with going through it together... the cyclical nature and ebb and flow between two people over time. What is it to hold history in between two bodies? To dig it out from under the nails and from the tangled web of hair. To tease out the things we conceal from ourselves and each other, the distances that seem so small and yet so vast- to be in contact but be alone.

And inversely, to allow the permeability to be the consolation of isolation. To drift in this ocean of culture and find solace in the reality of skin and bone, flesh and hair, wood and earth. Blending symbolic, transcendent and surreal with the intricacies of the ordinary... the personal and the ecologic, human time and earth time.

Layers folding into one another, like the folds of the brain and mycelium of interconnection, a reciprocity of attention.

We walk over and over, time  over and over, lost over and over, and you and I are here over and over.

This Old Place, Part 1 and 2

“Again, and,”

“Maybe again, like this,”

“Again,”

“There’s something you missed,”

“Remaining, like this,”

Phantom movements, we are passing through here.

To improvise the process between

remembering and forgetting.

To reckon with the reciprocity

of our bodies digging.

I forget.
