Caught between urgency and anxiety on the one hand, and routines, comforts and distractions, on the other, the artist contemplates the merits and pitfalls of building barriers – physical, digital, narrative, psychological – to the outside world
Barriers that shore up the pleasures and apparent safety of home, barriers that are essential to leading a ‘normal’ daily life, but which nonetheless obscure our precarious position and prevent meaningful change.
