Space Between is an exploration of contemporary relationships filtered through fairy tales and folklore. The two largest works each explore the emotional spaces that exist between couples. They are grounded in the theory of the “Distancer and the Pursuer”. This theory suggests that, in any given relationship, the emotional space between couples is always the same. One person takes on the role of the distancer, meaning that they pull away from the other, and the other pursues. At times the roles switch, leaving the emotional distance between the two exactly two the same, and thereby never allowing their emotional states to meet. The path through the woods is a reference to this never ending journey. These works are constructed with ink jet prints and model train landscapes, creating images that oscillate between a flat, two dimensional surface and the three dimensional hills and valleys created from the landscape miniatures.
In Head in the Clouds, the clouds stand as a metaphor for the ever-changing elements of a relationship. Like changing pattern of weather the relation ship oscillates between calm and stormy weather.
