Black and white 35mm negative contact printed onto ortho litho film, slide projector, curtains, lumber, dresser, dried flowers, hair, soldered void
In the Flowers is a spatial recreation of intimacy. A male figure, shielded by their backside upon flower-adorned sheets, is displaced through a projection onto my bedroom curtains, held up by a lumber arch. The image is carried through multiple analog processes, surviving as a cut and mounted contact print of a 35mm b/w negative onto ortho litho film. The slide projector anxiously hums with heat next to an empty soldered picture frame [void], and sitting above an open drawer of cut ponytails and dried flowers. The image attempts to meet itself as it slips through and inversely falls onto the back wall; a strip of clarity through loss.
