Spaces Between the Clouds
by Mintio
What does it mean to hold space for someone? What does
it mean to be physically, mentally, emotionally, and
spiritually present for someone, especially when they
have dementia?
Spaces Between the Clouds charts an artistic meditation
on aging and what it means to accompany someone
through the vagaries of weather and mood. As we enter
the Tuesday and Thursday afternoons of seniors and their
caregivers, we learn to navigate moments of uncertainty
and exhaustion, playfulness and bursts of song. As our
Image Credits: Co:Creation Workshop conversations and hands travel over old photographs and
indigo dye, water-worn textiles and sun-lit cyanotype
prints, we start to realize how holding space necessitates
a paradoxical dance of providing support as well as
distance. Through this project, Mintio hopes that the
people who encounter the work will get to ask themselves
how they would like to grow old. And what would they like
to remember?
26This project was developed with the seniors at Alzheimer's
Disease Association (ADA) and will be presented in the
Silver Arts 2021 edition as an exhibition, publication and
video documentation.
About the Artist:
Mintio is a lens-based visual artist. She graduated from NTU School of Art, Design and Media in
