We all have a relationship with paper. We write on it, read from it, and of course create with it. As children it was our primary medium for creativity; anything could be cut, folded and pasted out of paper. For adults, paper brings good and bad news; it facilitates communication and is in front of us with our morning coffee. Recently, paper has become an affordable medium to fabricate digital information into physical objects.
David Hoffos Scenes From The House Dream: Bachelor's Bluff, 2007.
House Dream is David Hoffos' five phase installation. Bachelor's Bluff, its fifth installment, is currently showing at Open Space.
Like some scene out of the dark corners of David Lynch's bizarre yet inviting images, Scenes From The House Dream: Bachelor's Bluff constructs a sequence of anxiety with a calming force. Hoffos' suggests his piece "reads as an elegy to anxiety, stress and depression" in effect it "signals the quintessential modern condition."
