Chair : A study in healing and the spaces we create

Healing and introspection require us to make room and sit in the process. It can be painful and destructive. The end may even look a lot like the beginning, but this does not mean there isn’t progress. The chair is placed and the dream-like room forms around it through the first section, creating the space in which “dicussion” takes place. The discussion figures use the space over time and refuse to acknowledge the viewer as one of their own as their healing is not yet ready for the public. The room will then dissolve and the chair is destroyed, replaced by a similar chair amongst the remnants of the old. A new space is formed for a new discussion and the process of healing can continue.
