A PLACE FOR THOSE, LIKE ME, WHO BLEED IS A SPACE THAT WAS MADE AVAILABLE TO ME BY CHANCE. THIS WORK IS AN EXTENSION OF A LIVED RESEARCH EXPERIENCE I CALL FREEDOMSCAPE. IN COLLABORATION WITH DESIRE, WILL, FLESH, LIGHT, AND SHADOW, A PLACE FOR THOSE, LIKE ME, WHO BLEED IS A VERSION OF A MOTOR: A WAY TO IGNITE THE SPIRIT TOWARDS MOTION. WITHIN FREEDOMSCAPE, MYSELF AND OTHER ARTISTS WERE MADE AWARE OF A TYPE OF SPIRITUAL ASCENSION. WE SAW THAT OUR BODIES BOUND US. FREEDOMSCAPE AND A PLACE FOR THOSE, LIKE ME, WHO BLEED AIMS TO CAPTURE THE VISCERAL AND EXPLORATIVE SENSE OF FLIGHT AND INTENSE DEEPENING THAT OCCURS WHILE IN PROCESS FOR THESE WORKS. THIS WORK, A PLACE FOR THOSE, LIKE ME, WHO BLEED ENCAPSULATES THE ABILITY TO TRANSCEND EARTHLY TETHERS INTO A SPACE UNKNOWN AND UNTAPPED. A PLACE FOR THOSE, LIKE ME, WHO BLEED IS A NORTH STAR FOR THOSE WHO KNOW HOW TO READ IT.
