this cloud, this crust, this doubt, this dust is an exhibition of work about my obsession with Virginia Woolf, her novels, and her home. It consists of:
𐫱 swallows in the window, which signify and do not signify this show the same way as the swallows in Between the Acts signify and do not signify the stage of an outdoor play
𐫱 two drawings of Virginia, one where she is overexposed and unrecognizable and one where she is underexposed and unrecognizable
𐫱 a privacy screen for kissing made from woven skies – from her garden and from films she inspired
and one for lying down
𐫱 two staged fireplaces, vaguely different, containing screenshots from Orlando, lithographs of swans, and a single teacup seen in dozens of tourist photos, wedged between glass and propped up on a water-rounded brick
𐫱 quilts smocked and holding a growing collection of her novels, found in second-hand stores (and one published by Hogarth Press)
𐫱 fly traps with captured spotted lantern flies, collected in New Jersey, as an homage to academics, who must point out that The Waves was originally titled The Moths
𐫱 a drawing of tulips (out of season) based on flowers that a man spliced and his wife painted
𐫱 a copy of Mrs. Dalloway where every flower is marked with a flower
