Inside is fluids, outside is fluids.
Thinking, bodily sensations and rememberings move as fluids and gases inside and outside our bodies.
The space I experience as being inside me is continuous with the space outside me. It sounds obvious but it’s taken 46 years for me to feel it. How much energy do I consume, trying to block the flow of unknown affects from out there to in here and vice versa?
My heart and emotions are of the same space as other people, clothes, things, furniture and walls.
The spaces expanding out from the experience of my heart, my guts, my eyes, my touch, my ideas, memories and emotions. The spaces of other peoples eyes, mouths, clothes and gestures, their hearts, guts, ideas, emotions and memories are all imprints of the same reality. I try to create protective borders between the emotional space in my body and the social spaces beyond it. This policing the natural flow of energy and emotion confuses and mixes things up.
For this body of work, I need to explore different spaces that spring from the body and senses through different mediums in different spaces.
Focus on the formations of defensive and protective critics to catch the shamed thoughts and feelings they want to ward off.
