"A single door leads the viewer into a long, wedge-shaped room, whose
facing walls are draped in crepe fabric behind which an array of
fluorescent lights give off milky, shadowless light. At either end of
the space the walls are mirrored, creating a mise-en-abyme that appears
to stretch endlessly off in a circle. Occupying the room is a series of
small timber “beds”, less than half a metre long and painted sky-blue,
each with a little pillow; these too are mirrored off into the infinite
distance. There’s something childlike but also rather disquieting about
this scene, the soft light, the simplicity of forms and colours, the
beds evoking a hospital or perhaps orphanage. "
