About Liminal Spaces: Liminal Spaces is an autobiographical social commentary on influences on identity formation. Harrington use toys, games, educational tools, and pop culture icons from his formative years in this work. Through imagery and text, Harrington shares a cultural narrative that was absent during his upbringing. By incorporating familiar materials and symbols, he invites viewers into what initially feels like a nostalgic or recognizable world—only to subvert their expectations and challenge their assumptions. The work reveals the coexistence of two parallel worlds: one visible and mainstream, the other hidden—much like the artist’s own experience growing up. Rich continues to explore the different stages of a gay man’s life, using humor, emotional honesty, and a search for belonging to connect with viewers on a deeper human level.
