I woke up the morning after the installation of Emergence (read more here), already brimming with ideas. It was incredibly satisfying to see the piece come to fruition in a space. It also immediately presented alternative iterations and created questions for me. I see this piece taking over and invading a space: crawling across a wall, creeping around a corner, seeping up onto the ceiling, and spilling onto the floor. I want to think about the negative space more than I did this time around. Think about how different installations can evoke different interpretations.
Through lockdown, pandemic restrictions and fears, political unrest, economic hardship and civil unrest; through a fraught administration change, a growing hope for a return to kindness, and the possibility of effective vaccines… Emergence grew and morphed similarly to the atmosphere I was steeped in did.
