Portal (Stephen's Gifts)

This sculpture takes the house as a utopian personal symbol of protection. It is something that physically surrounds us while also offering psychological comfort by way of personalization, routine, and solitude. The piece is grounded by a chain of trinkets: small gifts given to me by my partner; the result is a celebration of life’s minutiae and simple ways of sharing love.

Fabric, thread, hardware, rope, gifted objects.
