The boxes are part of a larger project, OBJECTS IN THE LANDSCAPE, that has engaged me over the past four years. They represent visual metaphors of small epiphanies from daily life that can be contained, or even restrained, in mysterious space, caught and frozen in time. The space is both secret and open, enclosed yet exposed. And therefore contains a contradiction which gives the piece its power. The content of each box speaks a silent language that belongs exclusively to objects. We look at them, but we are also hearing them; in each one a visual picture is constructed which the viewer can translate into his own story.
The boxes also represent a kind of metaphor of self: a little portioned-off space containing a part of myself or perhaps a metaphoric home for myself. Enclosed. Private. Protected. Collections of small broken-off parts of myself. And of the world. My boxes, myself
