A string is a long, slender tool used to bind or stitch things together.
Yet beyond its dictionary definition, this work turns its attention to the meanings that string carries as it runs through the course of life.
Strings that embody anxiety over loss and rupture—such as the thread of life, the rope from The Sun and the Moon folktale, or the fragile notion of “losing one’s grip”—also appear in forms imbued with affirmative meanings, like the red thread of fate, the blue thread, or the ceremonial string in a child’s first-birthday ritual.
In this way, the string traverses opposing meanings, quietly stitching our lives together as the breath of unseen connections and the afterimage of forgotten words.
Light of Transference renders invisible states into sensorial phenomena, allowing us to perceive the transformation that occurs as the subject’s internal state moves outward into the external world.
This experience crosses the boundaries between sound and light, technology and sensation, interior and exterior.
In doing so, it brings the very conditions through which events are formed into the appearance of light, and in the moment of transference, an event comes into being.
