I’d Rather Be Here
I’d Rather Be Here is a series depicting my bed in various outdoor landscapes. These are the places I’d rather be, when I am stuck in bed for long periods of time due to my disability. 2020 - Present
If I am going to be stuck in bed, I’d rather be here.
Imagine you are stuck in bed for 2 months. You can maneuver around the house for short periods of time throughout the day. Time feels long and short. It takes you over an hour to take a shower and 30 minutes to brush your hair. It seems like other people have more hours in the day. Out of your bedroom window are lush green rolling hills a couple of miles away. The grass is so green it is almost glowing. You look at the hills from your bed and think about how much you’d rather be there. Not even running through the grass but just lying up there in your bed. You want the sun to hit your face and you want the wind to reassure you that the earth is still alive.
This photo was taken on top of the hills I can see from my bedroom window.
