Sarah Rose Lejeune
A floor for Laurel

Media: Cast handmade paper (cotton, abaca).

Artist Statement:
Laurel is a house that has sat empty for awhile now. It is a space beyond point of repair or preservation. There are many people around here who lived there once, or visit regularly. This floor is for the space, for its intimate moments. Always been there or maybe just visiting, it is a re-representation, an elegy, imagination, celebration, a thank you.
