Process

​

Through continued engagement with these hauntings in my creative practice, I aspire to separate the tethers of the house and of my body that are bound with trauma. I draw the energy out of the house through my rubbings and I observe them. I sense the traumas laced in the rubbings, I sense the traumas laced in me that my fingers and body pressing charcoal against crinkling paper suspend.

 

I ask myself if this is mine to carry, or if it is the house’s to house. I pray as I drag these energies onto the land and attempt to sever ties with them. I want to break hold of the ghosts. I perform nonsensical tasks to demolish the rubbings with blind belief that this will sever ties with trauma and bring about healing. And I invite viewers into this space of the hold of a haunting.
