“A liminal zone, or liminal space, is a transitional area or state of being, existing between two distinct conditions or stages. It’s a place of ambiguity and uncertainty, often characterized by a feeling of being “in-between”. The term comes from the Latin word “limen,” meaning threshold. Liminal spaces can be physical, like an empty hallway or airport, or psychological, like a period of adolescence or a time of major life change.”

This video was shot today at the local beach. It featured a wooden IKEA trestle table with a white top and three different small plaster and gyprock sculptures sitting on the table with the ocean behind.
The sculptures are sort of a mixture of simplified buildings and two with stairwells. I am not sure why I chose these formats but I was attempting to make simple spiritual structures where the rectangular doorway at the front is the focus. A sort of void.
I like doing shoots in this zone on the beach where the sea meets the shore and washes back and forth.
I think tables are where people come together to meet and socialise, eat or work.
I am not sure what effect my art has on people who view it but I hope it makes people happy like the following Mackillop quote Australia’s saint.
“Find happiness in making others happy.”
Mary MacKillop.
“A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.”
Francis of Assis
When I was browsing for a quote to go with this essay, I liked this one by Saint Francis as it reminded me of the beautiful light today while we did the shoot at the beach and I feel it drove away many shadows of mine in retrospect.
