Liminal Spaces

Albuquerque, New Mexico

  • Set against the backdrop of the American Southwest, Liminal Spaces is a symbolic exploration of the anxieties faced in middle-class contemporary America. The work combines reality and fiction to delve into the American experience and examine the shared anxieties that unite and divide us. Liminal Spaces can be seen as the point between lament and unease, serving as both a windshield and a rearview mirror.

    The project's motivation is to emulate the great American literaries of the 20th Century through a visual medium. Liminal Spaces adapts the camera akin to Jack Karouac's use of his Underwood. It is the new poetry for the 21st Century, visually analyzing our time and place through autobiographical fiction.
