Home Splice: Doorway, 2012
video
The Monterey Building’s domesticity evokes both intimacy and vulnerability. Doors, windows, cabinets and closets still peek from under the veneer of the gallery to reveal the house’s former lives. Visitors shyly squeeze by each other in hallways meant for families and friends, feeling like estranged guests to a house party whose host is long since gone. Exploring the space feels adventurous and forbidden, as if opening the wrong door could conjure up the house’s past, all its inhabitants suddenly forced to acknowledge the thin portal that divides viewer and viewed.

Home Splice layers scenes from my own home onto the space and its strata - sort of an offering to the house and its former residents by sharing the vulnerability and intimacy of receiving others into your domain.
