a  person  standing  barefoot  in  the  grass,


conjuring  recollections,

experiencing  memory.


an  old  chair  a  person  can  curl  up  in,

connotations  of  comfort  and  conversation.


a  body  and  space  both  interior  and  exterior.


the  cupped  hands  of  a  person,

holding  something  to  share  and  protect.


expressing  the  place  between,

revealing  and  holding  secret.


details  that  change with  repetition.



this place between revealing and holding secret is what i’m interested in; i’m interested in its intangibility.  something we know to be true and yet it maintains elements of fabulation when expressed in words.  even when it is divulged to the most intimate confidant it remains unreal, like a dream, like it isn’t ours.  and this place between, changes with time.  i’m after what we experience and cannot express;  evidence of memory,  evidence of existence,   evidence of experience.
