The chain of art was metaphorically ‘A cemetery for keeping emotions.’ I was sad, and shocked about feeling sad. It made me think of my daughter, who died a long time ago. The collective pieces told a clear story of how sadness is part of our every day emotional spectrum and even how feelings of sadness and loss are critical to our everyday existence. I began to assemble ideas for a space. One of the most important desires I had was to put the artwork just a little out of site, at least for a moment, so that it could be “discovered” in the space.
