Attic / Cellar Collage

The cellar is first and foremost the dark entity of the house, the one that partakes of subterranean forces.  Attics are good places to think, dream, play, and write poetry.  Perhaps we need houses in which doors can be slammed shut and things shoved out of the way, into some cellar, attic or closet, to be forgotten for many years, only to be rediscovered much later, perhaps only by children or grandchildren.



- Karsten Harries, Learning from Two Invisible Houses

A collage-response to the readings of Bachelard, Heidegger, and Harries; involving memory, attic, cellar, and the oneiric house.
