I am particularly interested in the bed/bedroom and table/dining room as sites routinely and ritually inhabited. They are the intersections where connections are established and sustained, or may potentially breakdown.

The bed and table become invisible in their everydayness, but are essential for defining these intersections. I see the bed and the table as two pieces of furniture that personify human relationships, filling the space between individuals. Their physical structure determines our proximity to one another, affecting the nature of the exchanges that take place.

I identify these sites as stages or witnesses to experience. I imagine that the surfaces of the bed and table absorb and retain the traces of our presence. Stories, secrets, voices and gestures become immured in their structure. As I inhabit these sites, routinely and ritually, they take on a metaphorical charge. The weight and density of the metaphor increases as experiences layer over and weave into one another.
