B‘I‚NDING 2009 chairs, vinyl floor mat, television, DVD player, floor light x 3, extension leads, rope. 300 cm wide

We have the opportunity to confront negativity in our lives. We sit and stare it in the face, allowing it to move us in a direction we may not wish to go. We allow it to bind us, to manipulate us and to hinder our progression as individuals. There is a moment when we are presented with a choice to continue this cycle or let it go; to move freely without the ropes of negative thought and feeling.
