In rural zones there are dens. Strange interventions by unknown visitors as spaces that exist somewhere between the personal and the eerie.
Continuing ideas explored in Shipwreck about absence and the self, I built a den in my studio space. It's a hideaway that could signify a meeting point between an internal world and an external one, a shroud that contains the contradiction of being, but not being seen, a membrane between worlds. This den is an interior shelter inside an interior space as an expanded format painting. It explores dual environments as factors that point towards a paradox of co-reliance. The surrounding objects describe a kind of rhythmic deconstruction or chain of mutability. It is a situated practice that interrogates the presence of the maker as a cause-effect scenario.
In front of a window in an adjecent room hangs a digital print of a painting that was made inside the paper den.
