Make Your Bed + Lie in It
Summer 2023 Self DirectedThis project explores the possibility that emotions are spatial. After closely documenting thoughts and feelings thoughout 2023, the project gathers and analyses them. It reflects on what might happen next--what to do with all of these lessons.
“At the end of this, she will gather those twelve months, create a space within herself, and inhabit it. She will have more questions than she started with, but she will be at home. I will fill her with permanence. A space to hold her during her growing pains. I will gladly make my bed. I will take my time. I will cry as I lie in it.
I have missed it very much after all”
These complex emotions are translated into the manifestation of simple spaces. It was to be something monolithic, solid, warm, natural, close to the heart and to the earth. Able to be manipulated by hand: clay.
