Sonja Thomsen


Sonja. Thomsen. 

Shoring.
Stale.
Scale?
Rather be exploring.

Chicago baby.

Relationships between multiples
Mother and child
Vastness of space, smallness of human figure
Horizon touching the sky
“Magic of photo... impregnating the photo”

Hand talker.

Recurrent,

Well-hung.

“The pieces needed each other”

Alone.alone.alone.
About the scene and form

Minimalist
Showing, depth in something shallow
Milky
Glass piece
Heavy and light
To be inside

Water
Controlled oil spills
Mirror. Black mirror
Letting people be in the piece

Intellectual space
            Shifting the frame.
Memory and aging
Severe dementia
Hung.
Moment when someone takes a picture
            Put it back!
            Ownership of the piece
            Does it go in the garbage?
            Create own installation
            Images themselves are triggers

Hot second.

Circular space.
"I must show in here."
Place in the universe.


And these were my wonderful notes from her Wriston auditorium lecture.
