Bedside on Groundhog Day
liminality?
In my long-term project Bedside on Groundhog Day, I collect discarded materials, sewing them together and freezing them in place to create a fabric of time that blends the timelines of strangers with my own. In its complete form, my bedside table is a space where liminality prevails above all else as the edges blur between what is my own and what is other. At my bedside on Groundhog Day, history repeats itself endlessly, as it collapses inwards and finds itself anew under the gaze of each who encounters this place. The development of my work is driven by my interest in preserving the past via personal archives. Working in a photo lab shaped my interests in archival photo media as I saw how it could lend itself to found object sculpture. After rediscovering family slides, I realized that similar to how found objects can be capsules of the past, these found slides were luminaries of the past waiting to be lit. Much like how you might scan a slide, my lamp is meant to shed light on stories that were never told.
