Process Room, 06.06.05- 19.06.05

"I want to be able to knock on my neighbours door and say hi, my name is Sharon, I live just next to you and I was always curious about your home, about what it looks like, and your friends, and family.  What do you do for a living?  Do you want to come over for a coffee or tea some day, when you have time."

The Neighbours Yard presents the unreachable, the thing hidden behind a wall of the neighbour, the things you want to know but dont dare to ask, the garbage bag you wish to open, the fear of taking the wrong step, the things you loose, the thoughts you want to share but stay in your mind.
