Of Becoming: In Celebration of Liminality
LIMINAL SPACE: A FICTIONAL UTOPIA, A PLACE OF PROMISE.
THERE IS A HOLINESS TO THEM - AN EMPTINESS THAT DENOTES TRANQUILITY. A MONOGRAPH: THE THIN FABRIC OF SOLITUDE THAT IS COMPLEX AND MULTILAYERED.
THE DEEPER I GO IN, THE MORE ABSTRACT MY PHOTOGRAPHS ARE AND THE LESS ATTACHED THEY ARE TO TIME AND SPACE. THEY ARE SIMPLY WHAT I SEE IN THAT MOMENT AND CONNOTE WHAT I MIGHT SEE DARE I LOOK ANY FURTHER.
THEY ARE VACANT SCENES, AND YET THEY ARE FILLED, AS IF OCCUPIED, OFFERING THAT MAYBE THE UNCANNY HAS SOMETHING MORE TO OFFER, A CLARITY PERHAPS. THESE IMAGES OF THE BETWIXT AND BETWEEN CONVEY THE TRACES OF THE ONES WHO HAVE COME AND GONE, AND THOSE WHO ARE YET TO ARRIVE.
UNTIL THEN, SHADOWS, LIGHT AND COLOUR TAKE OVER..
DEEP BENEATH THE CHAOS AND CHIT CHATTER OF THE WORLD,
SWATHED IN A RICH, LINGERING SILENCE,
ENTRENCHED POWER WINDS ITS WAY THROUGH THE SPACES BETWEEN.
I FEEL AT HOME IN THIS LIMINAL,
IN THE SPACE IN BETWEEN,
IN THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
LIVING SIMULTANEOUSLY IN TWO WORLDS,
EACH HALF PEAKED AND HALF BLOSSOMING.
I AM EITHER AND NEITHER,
BUT MOSTLY BOTH.
IT IS IN THIS SYSTOLE AND DIASTOLE
WHERE I MOST OFTEN LIVE.
NEITHER HERE NOR THERE
BUT ALWAYS ON THE WAY.
THERE ARE BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS,
ONE EMERGING OUT OF THE OTHER.
MOST DAYS I FIND MYSELF TRAVELING IN THE EVER PRESENT,
LEAVING BEHIND YESTERDAY WITH EASE
AND WELCOMING TOMORROW WITH OPEN ARMS.
MORE PATIENT WITH THE PROCESS
AND LESS ATTACHED TO THE CERTAIN.
TO LOVE WHAT IS BECOMING,
AND THE QUESTIONS THAT KEEP COMING,
COMING BACK TO ME...
