In rural zones there are dens. Strange interventions by unknown visitors as spaces that exist somewhere between the personal and the eerie.
I built a den signifying a space between an internal and external world, a shroud containing 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 an expanded object that frames its maker as nothing more than cause effect.
In front of a window in an adjecent room hangs a digital print of a painting that was made inside the paper den.
Like Shipwreck, this work is a space as antistructure - a state of limbo.
