The "cropped" (though perhaps more accurately described as a "zoom" here) image finds its origin in the center of one of the mounted record players. The resulting fragment is one that can easily find a comfortable home on a proud parent's fridge, which is what I enjoy about it. Installations can be challenging to the viewer, a tension arising from the natural desire to appraise and classify what we see. The cropped image, reminiscent of childhood afternoons and glossy, toy marbles, became for me a reminder that there is too often this desire to classify. Sometimes a beautiful balance is found in acceptance and appreciation simply for what the eye beholds. I am comfortable in the disconnect, it can be nice to embrace the state of being.
