Fusion of a eeuu barn, old and animal-like, with an early 1910s house. Wooden floor. Grandmother-style wallpaper, aged, worn, old. Straw on the floor. Light seeps in through the cracks. Period furniture. Candelabras. Interior light. Hooks hang from above. Greenery tries to inhabit the interior. Presence of water (rain?). Fusion of the inanimate world with the living. A slaughterhouse? Hooks hang down. The wallpaper is floral. Dust. A lived-in space. An eternal moving picture. Where does the carnival come in? There are golden flashes. Holes in the wood with light shining through, they are stars. A visible beam of light. Feathers fall like rain. The presence of duality is constant. Hay. Levels. Eggs. Chains. Club. Hooks. Reframing the significance of the “butcher.” Double exposure. Are they men pretending to be animals, or animals pretending to be men? Is it the house of animals or the barn of men?
