Dividing Line, Cotton string, cotton and polyester thread, bed sheets, black dye, 57’, 2017- 2021

Dividing Line, before and after

A line

Dividing Before/After

Both sides of a line, both sides of a space

The before AND the after

A rope 

is useful 

can save you

Hold on

Don’t let go

Measurement: 57 feet

circumference of a room where something horrible happened

Physical labor…

As a way to process trauma 

As a tool to deconstruct space

A tool to change a narrative 

A tool to sit with pain and transform it into an object

OBJECT! (Object: as a record of time (4 years))

A tool to stitch life back together

A tool to be used to leap back and forth through time

a place to think

To turn anger into action,

Into time travel

Everything is different now

A different space

A different time

A rope can be a tether

Tied to history

Staying with you

An object to remember

An object to move forward

Rope as a guide,

A life line 

Hold on

Step over the line
