This piece was commissioned to be part of a multidisciplinary art work, in suitcases by 20 national and international artists. I collaborated with an artist based in California to create this piece based around the continual struggle in peoples lives, when someone is needed to be close but they miles away. 

 

Modern communications enable us to contact someone on the other side of the world, having a virtual conversation with them as if they were sitting opposite you. It seems so real, but it is not the same. In my suitcase I have forever united two people one in California the other in England, who are forced to be separated by events that are beyond their control.

 

They both recorded aspects of their neighbourhood simultaneously, as if the other was really there and everything about that moment was placed in that case although separated by thousands of miles. A time when they were in each other’s thoughts and memories will always remain in the case, together forever.
