The gallery is now a transitional space, altered, just for a while. It’s now a contemplative space, left behind from when Stars Collide.

A tunnel to lead you in,
and a voice to hold you here.

When Stars Collide is a multimedia installation, landscaping the gallery floor with sand and heaps of gravel to accommodate an array of fallen stars and a decapitated head. Once inside, a voice questions and contemplates upon the embodiment of the night sky, a few recalled memories, beliefs, the body it used to inhabit, and its disappointments and hopes, all while…waiting.

The “voice” analytically and poetically loops back and forth between the collective and individual experiences of the interconnections between the body, consciousness, and the macrocosm.

Acknowledgments: Voice acting by Gabriel Adewusi. Audio Production by Bobby Aherne.
