The work "Here" presents the viewer with an internal dialogue, both single sided and conversational - circular in nature - with no beginning or end. This dialogue is contained within two small drawers, and accessed audibly by the viewer each time one or both are opened. Perhaps here really is a place we cannot leave?
Each of the two boxes have a drawer that upon opening allows one half of a conversation to be played. Only when a viewer realizes that the voices within each box are in conversation and has both drawers opened at once will they hear the complete dialogue. The audio dialogue is presented here - for documentation purposes - as a single audio track.

“ My brother was under the water, face upturned, eyes open and unconscious, sinking gently; air was coming out of his mouth.
It was before I was born but I can remember it as clearly as if I saw it…
”Margaret Atwood Surfacing
