The Rubble in My Mind: The Deconstruction of Hearing Voices

 


Installation view (work in progress) at Studio 18

The Process of Deconstruction
The action of taking down the Installation Hearing Voices-- detaching the walls and reusing them as material artifacts of something that was but is no longer suggests the possiblilty to take control over something as debilitating as Schizophrenia.

The cracks on the plywood surface, the rips in the wallpaper are meant to expose that which is generally hidden from view. The walls from the installation lean up against the walls of the gallery to suggest the need for support in order to overcome distress.
