When I walked into the Hudson (Show)Room the other day i saw a woman stuck in what looked like a homemade wooden tunnel. She was breathing heavy and looked stressed out. It was Kate Gilmore. I thought, "Is there something on the other side of this homemade wooden tunnel?". She was struggling, it was hard to watch but i couldn't look away. She had built this homemade wooden tunnel too small and got herself stuck in it and filmed it for us to see. I was worried. It looked like she might not make it. It looked like she might give up. I began to cheer for her, go! go! come on! you can do it! you're almost there! stay focused! There was something at the end of that tunnel, glory. She made it out alive and i bet next the time she's squeezed so tight, she'll know she can make it through. It's easy to see her work as illustrations of unhealthy relationships and unhealthy patterns, but also she perseveres with might and endurance. With her videos she gives us hope and knowledge of our own capabilities not just to create unhealthy patterns and homemade wooden tunnels that are too small to crawl through, but to be strong and endure. The glory we have to get for ourselves.

i saw this show, too, and i'm really grateful to you for illuminating an interpretation i hadn't thought of before...homemade tunnels that are too tight to get through and yet we do. we push through to our own personal glory. really good insight.
