This one-person, site-specific exhibition explores personal disappointment, fear, dread, and despair. In the words of the artist, "I'm on the road to nowhere, except nowhere is somewhere, so I tell them I'm going somewhere and they say congratulations and I say thanks and goodbye and then off I go somewhere and off they go somewhere and everything is wonderful except I have nowhere to go and neither do they.
"
And in the words of Thomas Bernard, excerpt from Frost, "The older you become, the less you think about the connections you've already established. Table, cow sky, stream, stone, tree, they've all been studied. Objects...completely unappreciated... You just try to work out the big connections. Suddenly you look into the macro-structure of the world, and you discover it; a vast ornament of space, nothing else...you see you were always lost."
