Between waking and sleeping, between looking and averting the gaze, one finds a place of shades, of semi-somnolent stares, dreams, and musings.
It is a frontier where firm and fast definitions lose their certainty, or their value as signposts. The attention shifts itself from the concrete outer world to an inner one: ones thoughts descend into solipsistic concentration.
These places of transition play an important role in my work. I'm interested in transitional spaces and objects, like window sills and waiting rooms. But also in rituals of ingress and egress like the wiping of feet upon entering, and the inspection of appearance and combing of hair before leaving.
I want with my work to create places which have the effect of intensifying these rituals.
