I am interested in the space that moves along with me, or that I move with me; the space I try to move with me because I want to, because it is important to me; or the space I have to move with me because I am forced to; or the space that just tags along with me without my being conscious of it--the space that I create for myself and the space that is imposed on me; the space in/through which I feel good, protected, comfortable, liberated, and the space that is imposed on me and therefore oppresses, confines, and alienates me. I explore the personal space as the combination of tension between these two force fields, and how the boundaries of the personal space are drawn. Wallpaper integrates itself into the logic of clothing/ architectural space: clothing the house, covering the house, the wall. It is highly site specific, because it molds the wall perfectly and is literally stuck to it, but it is also infinitely transportable in that any wall can be covered with the wallpaper. It is transportable space in a roll. Three dimensions into two dimensions into one dimension, this is one of the ways in which space can be translated, folded from three dimensions to one, and be transported.
