Afound milk crate, feathers, and a wall—Daydream grows out of a yearningto dissolve barriers while seeking the safety of the familiar. In Poetics of Space, Gaston Bachelard writes,“Life in corners, and the universe itself withdrawn into a corner with thedaydreamer.” This complex relationshipbetween fear and curiosity, an oscillation between the quest and the withdrawal,collides with the materials of nourishment and comfort which are so oftenviolently extracted from a source that has been cornered and controlled. It’s within this space that I’m currentlymaking.
