Beyond the frame

Passageways, mirrors, windows, and doors

These are the unflinching metaphors of domestic spaces

Where present, past and future collapse

Interrogating linear time and sequential space.

Janus is double-faced, looking both forward and backward

Like the collapse of a reflected image

Taken at a specific moment, in a specific place.

Reflections, routine, and replay linger

Though the cyclical lapsing of the numbing unknown

Of what could have been, what should have been, and what may be

This is an exploration

Of identity, aesthetics, and personal politics

In the unfinished and tangled spaces

That invite reflection on meaning and shared or unshared reality.

The maintaining of one’s space, body and mind

The cultivation of connections and conversations

To process perspectives and question relevance

All beginning in the familiar spaces of home.
