The Falling Asleep Game When You Try To Make Everything Perfect In Your Head And The Smoothing Shininess Winks Back At You In The Middle Of The Darkness That Crowds In On You 2007 The work, entitled The Falling Asleep Game When You Try To Make Everything Perfect In Your Head And The Smoothing Shininess Winks Back At You In The Middle Of The Darkness That Crowds In On You, is Silver's own 'record' of making, and her intervention of using a repetitive process points towards her relationship with these images. A sense of cyclical looking, recurring lines of thought and crowding emotion is conveyed by the build up of line, which itself records the process of its own making and indicates the creation of an emotional space from an image of a physical space. The finished pieces are new spaces, of black mass, wherein the resulting shapes seem to float or fall in spaces that now convey stillness and loneliness. Jessica Owide, Curator Brahm Gallery, Leeds

By 'drawing' around small sections of upholstery in images of rooms from interiors magazines, using repetitive marker pen lines, Rhiannon Silver explains that she is aiming "to appropriate the promise or potentiality of space suggested in these publications."
