empty places/with suspicion
installation metro arts, brisbane, 2015 'what does it feel like entering a space that belongs to someone else, trespassing, intruding, curiosity overcame my fear and I did not close my eyes,' - ruth mcconchie 'time seems to slow down temporarily, it lingers, it's delayed, stops even, it is in stillness that one may be said to find true speed, the slowness starts revealing secrets to you, in this small corner of the atmosphere there reigns complete and utter silence; that here in the darkness immutable tranquility holds sway, subtle details emerge, the glow of grime, which is really the polish that comes of being touched over and over again, the layers of dust, dismal sheets of dust constantly invade earthly habitations and uniformly defile them, it will eventually fall apart, disintegrate, merge, descend into the all-encompassing sameness, what lives, wants to die again. originating in dust, it wants to be dust again.' - ruth mcconchie |
