Abundance: Corridor8

“Duvets act as both fort and mattress, offering refuge from the outside world. Within this soft architecture, I pass through sheer curtains into a gallery whose edges are softened by diffuse light filtering through green-tinted windows.”

“The quotes that are printed on the wall act as gentle provocations around the exhibition’s central question. One of them reads, ‘are you abundant, or are you searching for abundance?’ These few words are enough to sit with; they suppose that rest is not a passive state, inviting closure from the outside world, but a practice of transmission, as necessary to critical thought as it is to collective action.”

“I am drawn to several weighty duvets at the far end of the space: folded, flung, and gathered, their corners whipped into high peaks. From a resting position, I ease into the quiet rapture of an ambient soundtrack by musician Jayne Dent, working under the alias Me Lost Me. The music seems to land differently in my body. From the low hum of creeping anticipation to glimmers that bloom in my ears and fizz, celebratory, in my chest, the soundtrack holds me in its sway.”
