HEART CUTS CONNECT

duo exhibition w. Julia Sjölin ∙ 2022

Dear J,

Our connection is so direct; there are no bumps in our circuit as we dive into other circuits


Dear R,

We’re entering electrical waters and gray sunrays, I’m not sure I’ve tried this before


Suns, eyes, flowers. Hearts, straps, hinges and hands, holding on and letting go. The immensity of the physical forces at play; the rays of the sun, the electrical circuits, your hands outlining a body. To get gel nails and as they grow, call them proof of distance in time. 


Your heart mixed with the harsh laws of physics. 


The potential of a cut to be a connection, to try to understand a notion of gluing cuts. As our hearts, both cut open a while back, feeling naked, now enabling this.
