The music was already familiar. Moving a chair away from the table changed how I spent time with it. A small domestic rearrangement, considered from the place where someone sits.

Interiors
Rooms arranged for work, listening, or an unhurried look outside. Stories about the furniture, surfaces, and small adjustments that give an interior its particular character.
The stories
Empty red seats face a closed gold curtain. A look at the theater before an imagined audience arrives, moving from the shape of the auditorium to the closer details of seating and the work around stage lighting.
The film ends before the room has quite finished with it. A walk from the last row to the street, following the light that stays with us after the screen goes dark.
A gray-coated figure looks toward work gathered in a dark room. Frames and leaning images make the surroundings of attention visible, inviting a closer look at how pictures share a space and how a viewer finds a place among them.
From a café table, passing figures appear between reflected lamps and the furniture inside. A short study of the pictures that form when the glass separating the room from the street becomes visible.
A window gives the same room a different set of conditions every hour. Following a small studio arrangement through an afternoon, with attention to the reflections and shadows that keep refusing to stay in place.
