Objects as thresholds to past memories and imaginary futures, 2024.

In this multi-sensory installation as provocation drawing on Jean Baudrillard's 1968 text, 'The System of Objects', the artist explores how fragments of family lineage and fragments of objects might intersect in the present, past or an imagined future.

Liminale describes a state of limbo when one becomes slowly untethered from one's authentic origin story, as adopted identities of affinity or fancy fuse into one.

At the centre of the installation is a large, transient structure matching the artist's precise 1.68m stature. A tarpaulin, light ropes, five heavily stuffed hessian sacks and a collection of stones share the burden of support.

The soundscape incorporates water, birdsong and bells, with the scent-scape of rosemary, sage, citrus & clove to stimulate comfort and memory.

Liminale is the Italian translation of the English word, liminal.

Site-specific work for the Casino Nazionale, Lucca Province, Italy.
