Narration

Weatherproof digital print onto PVC panel, wood / 6’ x 5’ x 4” / 2013

In her short story, "Tumble Home," writer Amy Hempel describes a moment, or rather the possibility of a moment, and the way it has the potential to collapse space and time. Wanting to visually depict this line of text from her story, I created a sculptural version of it that was held by four people for two separate photographs. Both weatherproof photographs were displayed within a double-sided billboard in the exact location from where they were taken. The images depict a moment, possibly an imagined moment, that now exists solely in its sited representation.

"I would like to go for a ride with you, have you take me to stand before a river in the dark where hundreds of lightning bugs blink this code in sequence: right here, nowhere else! Right now, never again!”
