Nodes
A node is either an endpoint or a branching point in a network. The figures in the work shift in form as do the people who embody them. Sometimes I do not recognise them, sometimes they are my sisters. My works embrace me with their presence, so I can meet life alone.
It is in the space between that the meeting arises. In the limbo between solitude and closeness. In the space between, emotions are liberated, embracing me in emptiness.
I carry the presence of your absence with me. Experiencing life alone is the worst thing I know, and I never tell anyone when I see a shooting star fall, in case they have missed it. I do not want to remind them of what never was, what I have experienced alone.
The aching, anticipation and the angels.
