Journal - Chat Room

"Journal", glass jars and mixed-media, dimensions variable, 2011
I was inspired by the casual conversations I encounter in my daily routine. In Journal, a site-specific piece evoking the much- romanticized “message in a bottle,” I stuffed glass bottles throughout the gallery space with diary entries retrieved from anonymous yet deeply intimate blog entries. The viewer is encouraged to rearrange the bottles and read the cryptic, at times, disturbing messages inside.
