Scenes composed of cherub lamps and chewed curtains overlook manicured lawns or are met by red brick walls. Quiet and unassuming, the scenes offer reminders of the recent past: a fingerprint on a pane of glass, a strand of hair trapped beneath a latch, a small tear on bright drapery, or a handwritten note taped to a wall. The body remains persistently beyond the frame's reach, referred to by material legacies and visible traces of latent activity.
Threshold reinvigorates the home as a site of ritual and mourning. Projected to scale, the installation creates space where lost objects can resurface in memory to be revisited again and again in search of new meaning. Consisting of over 300 photographs of windows taken at estate sales, the series reminds us of these quiet moments of departure and the obsessive negotiations that sometimes follow. The views, presumably once held by the dead, call attention to the liminal state between presence and absence. The series visualizes the indescribable qualities of the abrupt endings that infiltrate our lives and often refuse feelings of closure.
