I am liminal
We exist as Women in liminal spaces. Between roles. Sat in my car, I am liminal. I get to just be. Arriving home, the seat in my car provides a container. Not where I was, not yet assuming the mother role inside my home. I ruminate, ponder imagine possibilities right there. Free of responsibilities I reclaim my identity, not belonging to anyone or anything.
Take a seat, feel into the liminal space. Write, draw imagine add to the wall.
I am liminal is an interactive installation work with a wall poem, 1992 Toyota 4Runner Drivers Seat, Pens, Paper & Tape.
Gallery visitors are invited to sit in liminal space, read the poem and respond. The responses created will be worked into a future piece. This artwork was first presented as part of βThe Mother (Load)β members exhibition at Lake Country Public art gallery. in March 2023
I am liminal
Held, open, still,
Not where I was,
Not where I will be,
Sink, melt inside,
I am liminal.
Allow, nurture, flow,
Make room,
Lost in imagining,
Hold, time precious,
I am liminal.
Possible, impossible, onward,
Space contracts,
Glimpse the outer edges,
Pull, pulling back,
I am liminal
