Untitled (Marriage)

2009
Wood construction, paint, fabric, multi-channel audio

Untitled (Marriage) relates to an everyday experience for many and to the idea of one of our society’s most common states of being, marriage. I am exploring the concept of marriage by using my personal experience of it to reflect a sense of feeling for people to create their own perception of comfort or anxiety; familiarity or unknowing. This experience is common to many but also different for each individual. Untitled (Marriage) invites one to sit back into the space that is somewhat awkward. It is constructed of wood and upholstered in white fabric to contain audio of five over lapping conversations between myself and my husband to let the participate enter into my experience of marriage.
