This project unfurled during a tumultuous time in my life, a time where I I struggled to understand and help someone very close to me who was struggling deeply. I felt completely helpless and at loss of how to talk to someone I had always known, the literal feeling of 'walking on eggshells'.
I spent months in the studio, trying to busy my hands in an attempt to allow my mind the space to breathe, hand painting over 400 eggshells. Inside these are nestled contact prints of 35 mm film photographs, each of an individual moment, feeling, place. In my installation I invite people to gently walk through my space, to experience the sensation of walking through a delicate, fragile space, and to take the time to stop, to look within the work. |
