From the Opera, as performed by the objects themselves.

October 2007. Elsewhere, Greensboro, NC.

Elsewhere, a former thrift store turned artist residency was perfect for me. I took my Mamiya 67 with me, even though I'd been shooting Polaroids for the 7 years between the bottles and this. I couldn't find any good sunlight indoors, so I gathered shiny and reflective things. Pretending I was a Director, I staged an opera about a spool of thread and it's adventures and encounters. Some of the more autobiographical elements only revealed themselves to me later.
