(in process)
Bodies as statues/bodies as anchors: A familiar place materializes. Winding through a dark and quiet distress, the body emerges as an energetic field used to emphasize and explore the effect of light, time, and sound to reconstruct, reclaim, and question the architecture of memory. Like ghosts, shadows of our dream world and history exist like moss; quietly present on the boundary line between conscious and subconscious. A haunting presence is felt. Like thunder in the distance; the feeling of an oncoming storm swirls around the room. Together we take a deep breath, and jump into the deepest part of a dark lake; we touch the mysterious cold spot. Using elements of the natural world, a haunted house is created. Treading water, the individual and communal witness and are witnessed. Through an assertion of presence and sifting of memory, can we reclaim and activate the present; questioning the value of proof and language; we go underwater, and surface again.
