Artist’s Statement
I found a specific place close to home interesting. It wasn’t a very big space but it was a place I would visit for hours as a kid with friends. As an adult, I revisited this area allowing me to realize the naivety of a youthful mind. What once was a place filled with childhood stories and playful memories became an area full of serious questions that I wanted to answer.
People have reasons for doing certain things. What makes someone continue doing something over and over again? Addiction? Comfort? Relief?
I made work concerning the questions asked.
