Artifact of Place

This work explores the theme of sensed tension within liminal space. Memory, story, object, natural, and manmade environments inform narrative within the work, considering the ways in which experience poses juxtapositions informing a sense of place. In her book A Field Guide to Getting Lost, Rebecca Solnit speaks about the evocation of place and its emotional resonance (p113).

“Perhaps it’s that you can’t go back in time, but you can return to the scenes of a love, of a crime, of happiness, and of a fatal decision: the places are what remain, are what you can possess, are what is immortal. They become the tangible landscape of memory, the places that made you, and in some way you to become them. They are what you can possess and what in the end possess you (p117).”
