I am so happy that my photo ‘The Deeper Feels’ was included in the recent issue of Straylight Literary journal. This photo of a window with tattered lace curtains was taken at Bodie Ghost Town. This photo has me thinking about my obsession with curtains. I have quite a collection in my photo archives of them. Most of them have been taken at abandoned buildings.
Thinking a little deeper about the curtains, I realize that they are boundary for a threshold. They buffer the visibility in and out. They offer privacy and they are also an adornment for the window or the threshold.
Thresholds have always spoken to me about the liminal space between one place and another, a place that divides different states of being. In these photos, the curtains take many shapes, states of being and offer varying degrees of boundaries.
