Somewhere between an analytic impulse and intuitive reflex Streed quietly dresses the interior of a small room. Vintage milk glass gathered over the past ten years is the muse for this video/object interaction. A mandala emerged and a video projects an image of a woman relentlessly seeking an arrangement of two chairs. A shared practice of shape shifting becomes a human blend of otherwise disparate actions, a crossbreeding of desired perception and a yearning for resolution. Getting it right is often just trying to get there.
