Artist Statement
To truly see, we must use our souls, and not just our eyes. Here, in this house, there is a frail beauty. I feel this in the desperation of the half hung draperies. The peeling walls and carpets, speak to the chaotic lives that once lived here. These are little reminders of the human condition, as well as the perseverance of the human spirit. The candelabrum proudly stands centrally, directing our view up and out of the single window, yielding a glimmer of hope. There exists a wondrous world of possibilities outside the aged and crumbling room. But alas, we have one eye open and one eye closed, a curious dilemma. Did the inhabitants venture off into the glory of hope? Did they remain and live out their days always wondering what could have been? Invariably, a delicate angst exists in these decisions. Eyes wide shut. How the vital choices are made.
As I venture into abandoned structures, I often find unexpected treasures that become powerful storytellers. I never prop or move objects. I prefer to capture things as they are in their natural state. This way, I am able to more palpably feel and preserve the integrity of the lives that once mattered in these homes and spaces.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
