“Like negative sculptures, the birds are rendered in negative space. These are not images of birds, or even stuffed birds, but rather the space left after the bird has gone.” [The Recycled Library] Kylie Stillman’s “Rufous Treecreeper”

“Birds fly over a factory at dusk; a lone tree stands in the middle of a rippling lake; rain pours against garbage in a deserted alley. These “in-between” shots derive from Hollywood films. The images slip through cracks in our conscious memories, triggering a displaced familiarity. We have seen this before, but we don’t know where.” Scott Kildall, Future Memories (2006) — Video installation

The birds depart, the flowers wither, the branches are dislodged and drift downward; no trace is left of the floating island but a stone submerged by the water; — such is our personality.
