here's the artist statement i wrote up for the occasion.
perched next to it is one of the marshburn vintage catalogue cards that reads : THE NEW ROOF.
UNDER THE BED
Emily Ables & Jessie Duncan
Under the bed there are monsters. There are dreams, fortresses and hideouts. We fill the crannies with our treasures and cling to the beams as though they are that of a swaying ship. We went under the bed as children with the purpose of creating new worlds, believing that one day we would be big enough to reign in them. How do we now, then, rediscover those beautiful worlds, those truths, when we are too big to fit under the bed?
When we are alone we discover what is sacred.
Sometimes the monster we are most afraid of is our being alone.
Go under your bed.
