The Bed's depiction of slacker idleness is humorously at odds with its oversized, commanding spectacle, and its clunky forms become both props and performers in an anti-drama of epic proportions. The bed itself operates literally as a platform or stage, the centre of expectant action and entertainment. "The Bed began as a personal play with scale in 2006 when I became fascinated with a possibility of the world as seen from a different point of view. Everybody sees things in a distorted way of course but I remember as a child, for instance, coming into my parents' bedroom and having the impression of their bed being much bigger than it actually was. Here The Bed is a metaphor for a similar ongoing feeling, which I believe everyone carries throughout their life, trying to figure how you feel and who you are and what your place is in relation to things that surround you."
