bunkbeds consists of a simple, stable image playing out in linear (although manipulated) time. Its subject is the site of a sexual assault, pulled out of domesticity and into nature before being destroyed. It slowly goes up in flames, warping, falling apart and eventually collapsing altogether.
bunkbeds is an attempt at destroying a subject's personal, unseen history. A structure's transition from an imposing memory to dust could be viewed as mundane, cathartic or nauseating to the viewer and is constructed to embody all of these things.
bunkbeds (site of assault in flames) was presented during the exhibition, A Very Much More, at The Soap Factory in Minneapolis, Minnesota from November 13 - December 4, 2010.
