ARTIST’S STATEMENT

The best room, For Everyone a Fountain.

I want to be here in this room that holds the hidden and the visible simultaneously. I needed to know what the physical footprint and overall scale would feel like to witness. Over the duration of building the room, it became larger in size than I had anticipated at first. More and more of the future and the past pushed inside, needing each other, yet space was going to be short. Soon I found I was only able to look upon the room; my entry was no longer possible. Only the best room is ineffable and fleeting— everyone has theirs. I have lived here; you can too. See pictures. Hear time. Feel surfaces. Light finds shadow. For Everyone a Fountain is the best room you’ll ever know.
