Evoking memory of play and summer, Thirty Years from Now Your Life Will Surely Be Different is a sensory-rich installation that considers the work typically assigned to females, and how these expectations change as we age: childhood to puberty to adulthood and through senescence. In the activated space one hears the sounds of a swing set while seeing a young girl’s legs playfully pierce across the sky. The warming scent of the beeswax encrusted laundry lines from which the white bed sheet ‘screens’ hang, invites viewers to insert themselves between the billowing layers of illuminated summer skies and swinging legs. Between these layers, lit by fore and rear-projection, the audience’s narrative also becomes a part of the work itself.
