Inner Matterings

2023, digital video, 7:03

Empathy of the body through tactile text and visual stimulation. Outward into my most lived in spaces and recording through an inward experience. 

This video extends from a research project I investigated during 2022, that explored areas of my home that are private to me, such as my bedroom and my bathroom. I spent the year observing, collecting, listening to and feeling-into these places and the substances that resided there. 

The matter in my house is a living and mutating extension with me, and becoming acquainted with it is intimate; building a new type of relationship with them that stems from distant, connected and maternal sensations and emotions. 

The visceral and tactile descriptive words come from text pieces I hand wrote throughout the year of 2022. They reference body in the sense of the skin and flesh, as well as extensions of body within dust and grime around the house, and the sensations of touch when the two meet; the way it feels to touch and be touched.
