There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out is an installation of four interrelated works that reflect on the ineffability of experience, of time and of intimacy. By representing the corporeal residue of memory through the gestures of writing, touching and breathing, these works are the traces and reflections of what remains after an intimate relationship has ended. Both the material and metaphorical dimensions of these traces are manifest as corporeal, as form, and as sound. This work evokes the possibility that the body’s intrinsic link to language and sensual experience can illuminate how intimacy is remembered and embodied.
