(collaboration with daughters) | 2019 One of my daughters inserted this doll head inside the stopper behind a door that is constantly being slammed or opened quickly and sometimes catches another daughter’s (or my) unsuspecting fingers or toes. To me, this impromptu sculpture represents the Sisyphean dance of managing the emotions of oneself and three young daughters 24 hours a day; the emotional and physical boundaries often dissolve and your minds, bodies, and physical spaces become so intertwined they it is hard to distinguish between oneself and another. Seeking out individual emotional and physical space feels like running into a door.
